These Hasselback sweet potatoes with marshmallows are a visually stunning and delicious dish perfect for holidays, family gatherings, or cozy weekends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes, washed and dried
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: chopped pecans or maple syrup for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Place each sweet potato on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, make thin, even slices across the width of the potato, stopping before cutting all the way through. Use chopsticks on either side of the potato as a guide.
  3. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.
  4. Brush the butter mixture generously over the sweet potatoes, ensuring to coat between the slices. Reserve some of the mixture for later.
  5. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the edges are slightly crispy.
  7. Preheat your oven’s broiler. Arrange mini marshmallows in a weave pattern over the sweet potatoes or scatter them as desired.
  8. Place the dish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Marshmallows should puff up and turn golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Use chopsticks on either side of the potato to ensure uniform Hasselback slices.’, ‘Generously coat the potatoes with the butter mixture to keep them moist and flavorful.’, ‘Keep a close eye on the marshmallows under the broiler to prevent burning.’, ‘You can partially cook the sweet potatoes in the microwave before slicing to save time.’]
