Toppings
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for roasting the sweet potatoes to perfection.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Toss Sweet Potatoes: In a bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated for seasoning and roasting.
- Arrange Slices: Lay the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the sweet potato slices for 15–18 minutes until they are tender and cooked through.
- Add Toppings: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and top each sweet potato slice with mini marshmallows and chopped pecans for a sweet and crunchy finish.
- Toast Marshmallows: Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 3–5 minutes, or until the marshmallows are slightly melted and toasted nicely.
- Drizzle Syrup: Once out of the oven, drizzle the sweet potato bites with maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness and serve warm for the best flavor.
Notes
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
