Ingredients
Scale
4 large sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds), peeled and cubed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk or cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups mini marshmallows
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (Optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, transfer them to a large bowl. Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mash the mixture using a potato masher or an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the milk or cream and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Pour the sweet potato mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread evenly. Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the top of the sweet potato mixture. If desired, sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts over the marshmallows.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and puffed up. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. The marshmallows will be extremely hot, so use caution.
