Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Pour the butter-bourbon mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes in the baking dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle the pecans over the sweet potatoes, ensuring an even distribution.

Step 9

Bake the dish for 25 minutes, uncovered, until the sweet potatoes are bubbling and slightly golden around the edges.

Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the marshmallows evenly on top.

Step 11

Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and puffy.
