Sweet Potato Bites
Serve as an fall appetizer or thanksgiving side dish - these sweet potato bites are each coated in a sweet glaze and baked, then topped with a toasty marshmallow and pecan for a delicious, nostalgic taste.
Ingredients
- 2-3 Medium Sweet Potatoes sliced into 1/4" thick rounds
- 1 Tablespoon Melted Butter
- 1 teaspoons Maple Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- Marshmallows
- Pecans
- Cooking spray
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°. Cover a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
-
Clean your potatoes, pat dry, and slice them into uniform 1/4" thick rounds.
-
In a bowl, toss them with melted butter maple syrup, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
-
Bake until tender but not mushy- about 20 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven and switch oven to broil.
-
Top each sweet potato round with a marshmallow and broil until puffed and golden. Immediately top each marshmallow with a pecan half and serve. Be careful not to push pecan in so far as to overflow the marshmallow over the side of the sweet potato.
Recipe Notes
Tip: Lay out sweet potato rounds on your baking sheet to determine how many will fit on it before mixing them with the other ingredients. Sweet potatoes can vary in size, so this will help to get the right topping/sweet potato ratio.
