baking trey

Ingredients
  

  • 2 sweet potatoes about 1 lb - Try to pick medium-sized ones so they slice evenly
  • 4 pecans split to half
  • 4 marshmallows
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ tbsp salt Just enough to balance the sweet flavors

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Get your baking tray ready, as you’ll be popping these bites in soon.
  • Slice and Season the Sweet Potatoes: Peel your sweet potatoes and cut each one into 4 even slices, about ¼-inch thick. Place them in a bowl and pour the melted butter over the slices. Add a sprinkle of salt, then toss until each slice is coated.
  • Bake the Sweet Potato Slices: Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, flip them and bake for another 10 minutes. This gives them a slightly crispy edge, which makes these bites even better!
  • Add Maple, Marshmallows, and Pecans: Take the sweet potatoes out and drizzle maple syrup over each slice for extra flavor. Place half a marshmallow on each sweet potato round, then return the tray to the oven on the grill or broil setting. Keep an eye on them—marshmallows toast fast! A quick 2-3 minutes will give them a golden, gooey top.
  • Top with Pecans and Serve: Take the tray out, and while they’re still warm, press a pecan half on each marshmallow. These sweet potato bites are best served warm, so gather everyone around and enjoy!
