Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows Delight

Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup milk (or plant-based alternative)
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 0.5 cup pecans, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
3. Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4. Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy. Slowly add the milk while continuing to mash until you achieve your desired consistency (you may need more or less than 1/2 cup).
5. Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
6. Sprinkle the top with mini marshmallows and, if using, chopped pecans for an added crunch.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and bubbly.
8. Once baked, remove from the oven and let sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
