Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Marshmallows

Maple syrup, almonds & marshmallows

INGREDIENTS

Serves 6-8

• 6 large sweet potatoes (or yams)

• 1 stick butter

• 1/2 cup maple syrup

• 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted

• 1 tablespoon cinnamon

• 1 bag mini marshmallows

RECIPE

1. Peel sweet potatoes & cut into large chunks.

2. Add sweet potato chunks to large pot & cover with water. Bring to a full simmer & continue to cook for about 10 minutes. You are only blanching because they will continue cooking in the oven. Drain the potatoes & place in a large roasting pan.

3. While the sweet potatoes are blanching, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the maple syrup & bring to a boil. Remove from heat.

4. Sprinkle toasted almonds and cinnamon on top of the sweet potatoes. Pour the melted butter and syrup mixture all over & mix everything together. You can do this the day before, cover & refrigerate.

5. Preheat oven to 450˚.

6. Roast sweet potatoes until they start to brown & become crispy & gooey (~45 minutes). Remove from oven.

7. Right before serving, cover the sweet potatoes with marshmallows & broil for 3 minutes until they start to brown.
