Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.33 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup pecans
- 1 cup marshmallows
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, bourbon, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the butter-bourbon mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the pecans over the sweet potatoes, ensuring an even distribution.
Bake the dish for 25 minutes, uncovered, until the sweet potatoes are bubbling and slightly golden around the edges.
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the marshmallows evenly on top.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and puffy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
