Ingredients

2 sweet potatoes, or yams (peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 large marshmallows, halved (kitchen shears work great)
24 pecans, or candied pecan halves

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small microwavable bowl, add the butter, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon. Microwave until melted for about 30 seconds then stir to combine.
Add sweet potato rounds to a large bowl and drizzle the melted butter mixture over the potatoes. Toss until evenly coated.
Place the sweet potato rounds onto the prepared pan and evenly space them.
Bake sweet potatoes for about 20 minutes, or until fork tender.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and set the oven to broil.
Top each sweet potato round with a marshmallow half.
Broil marshmallow-topped sweet potatoes for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted making sure not to burn.
As soon as sweet potatoes come out of the oven, press a pecan half into the top of the marshmallow and serve immediately.
