Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (canned, in juice)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup marshmallows (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash, peel, and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Place the sweet potato cubes in a large pot of water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl.
Add the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the bowl. Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and the ingredients are well combined.
Fold in the crushed pineapple, making sure it's evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Spoon the sweet potato and pineapple mixture into a lightly greased 2-quart baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
If using marshmallows, sprinkle them over the top of the sweet potato mixture.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Pineapple Sweet Potatoes!
