How to Make Mallow Topped Sweet Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and scrub 2 large sweet potatoes. Prick them all over with a fork.
  3. Place sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. While sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the marshmallow topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup mini marshmallows, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until marshmallows are melted and smooth.
  6. Once sweet potatoes are cooked, carefully remove them from the oven.
  7. Cut a slit lengthwise into each sweet potato without cutting all the way through.
  8. Spoon the melted marshmallow mixture generously over the sweet potatoes.
  9. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until marshmallows are lightly browned and bubbly.
