Preparation Instructions
- Begin by peeling and chopping around 2 to 3 large sweet potatoes into large chunks, ensuring uniform size for even cooking. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Once cooked, drain the water and mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy.
- In the pot containing your mashed sweet potatoes, mix in approximately ¼ cup of melted butter, ½ cup of light brown sugar, a pinch of salt, ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a splash of vanilla extract, and a dash of nutmeg. Stir until all ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is velvety and aromatic. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary to ensure a delicious sweet potato filling.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a little butter or cooking spray. Evenly spread the sweet potato mixture in the greased dish, smoothing the top to ensure a consistent baking surface.
- Now, take about 2 cups of mini marshmallows and sprinkle them evenly across the surface of the sweet potato filling. Be generous and cover the filling completely.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-35 minutes, until the marshmallows are golden brown and bubbly. If needed, broil for an additional minute at the end for a perfectly toasted marshmallow topping. The heavenly aroma will fill your kitchen.
