Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes, then pat them dry. Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Remove the baked sweet potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes, or until they are safe to handle.
Slice each sweet potato in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the flesh into a large mixing bowl, leaving a thin layer of potato in the skins to help maintain their shape.
To the bowl with the sweet potato flesh, add the butter, brown sugar, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Mash the mixture until smooth and creamy.
Arrange the sweet potato skins on a baking sheet. Spoon the mashed sweet potato mixture back into the skins, evenly distributing it among the halves.
Top each filled sweet potato half with a generous sprinkle of mini marshmallows.
Return the sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and melted.
Serve warm and enjoy your Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes with Mini Marshmallows!
