Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 2 cups pecans, chopped
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 sweet potatoes

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and pierce them in several places with a fork or knife. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Bake Sweet Potatoes: Bake the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for about 55 to 60 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

  3. Prepare Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the butter and light brown sugar until well blended. Then, stir in the chopped pecans, all-purpose flour, and miniature marshmallows until the mixture forms loose crumbs.

  4. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Remove the baked sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut a slash lengthwise in each potato, then using oven mitts, carefully press the ends of the sweet potatoes to expose the centers.

  5. Season and Stuff: Season the sweet potatoes with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Next, stuff the marshmallow mixture into the centers of each sweet potato, ensuring they are evenly filled.

  6. Final Bake: Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven and bake at 400°F (200°C) for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the stuffing is golden brown and melted. Be careful not to let the marshmallows burn.

  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the stuffed sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, serve them warm and enjoy the heavenly combination of flavors and textures!

Tips:

  • For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle a little maple syrup over the stuffed sweet potatoes before serving.
  • You can customize the filling by adding ingredients like cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a splash of bourbon for a unique twist.
  • If you’re short on time, you can prepare the filling in advance and simply stuff the sweet potatoes just before baking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
