Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 6 tbsp butter, unsalted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Prepare a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
