Description
Sweet Potato Bites with Marshmallows and Pecans are a festive holiday treat featuring roasted sweet potato rounds topped with gooey marshmallows, toasted pecans, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 20–25 mini marshmallows
- ¼ cup chopped pecans
- Optional: extra maple syrup or honey for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss sweet potato rounds with melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt until evenly coated.
- Arrange slices in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and top each round with a few chopped pecans and one mini marshmallow.
- Return to the oven and bake for 3–5 minutes more, just until marshmallows are soft and slightly toasted.
- Drizzle with extra maple syrup or honey before serving warm.
Notes
- Best served warm straight from the oven.
- Toasted pecans add extra crunch; you can toast them briefly in a skillet before using.
- If you like extra toasty marshmallows, broil for 1–2 minutes watchfully.
- Can be assembled ahead and reheated gently before serving.
