Ingredients

Sweet Potato Bites

  • 2 sweet potatoes, washed and peeled
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup pecans
  • 1 cup marshmallows
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the peeled sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes or rounds to ensure even cooking. Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Toss Sweet Potatoes with Butter and Seasoning: In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato pieces with melted butter, salt, and maple syrup. Toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with the mixture for a balanced flavor.
  3. Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Spread the coated sweet potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender and beginning to brown at the edges, tossing halfway through to cook evenly.
  4. Add Marshmallows and Pecans: Remove the tray from the oven and evenly sprinkle the marshmallows and pecans over the roasted sweet potatoes. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the marshmallows are melted and golden brown.
  5. Serve Warm: Carefully remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. These sweet potato bites are best enjoyed warm as a delicious side dish or a satisfying snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred.
  • For a spicier version, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or cayenne pepper before roasting.
  • Ensure marshmallows are added near the end of baking to avoid burning.
  • Use fresh sweet potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust maple syrup according to your desired level of sweetness.
