Ingredients

Sweet Potato Bites

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Toppings

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the sweet potato rounds.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Toss the sliced sweet potato rounds with olive oil and salt to evenly coat and season them.
  3. Initial Bake: Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  4. Add Toppings: Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and top each round with mini marshmallows, chopped pecans, and drizzle with maple syrup for added sweetness and texture.
  5. Final Bake: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the marshmallows are golden and slightly toasted.
