Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized Sweet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Mini marshmallows

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then prick each one several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 3

Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.

Step 4

Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes until they can be handled safely.

Step 5

Gently slice each sweet potato lengthwise and carefully fluff the interior using a fork to create a soft surface.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the unsalted butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 7

Spread the butter mixture evenly over the fluffed interior of each sweet potato, ensuring the buttery sweetness melts into the flesh.

Step 8

Top each sweet potato with a generous layer of mini marshmallows, approximately 1/2 cup per potato.

Step 9

Return the sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and slightly toasted.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy this gooey, caramelized treat as a sweet and savory side dish!
