INGREDIENTS

5 medium sweet potatoes, sliced
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest
1-1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (10.5 oz. pkg.) miniature marshmallows - enough to sufficiently cover top

METHOD

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray, with butter spray, a 9”x13” baking dish, and set aside.

Place sweet potato slices in a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and mash. Place mashed sweet potatoes in large bowl, and use an electric mixer to blend with the melted butter, brown sugar, orange juice, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Spread evenly into the prepared baking dish. Top with miniature marshmallows. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until heated through, and marshmallows are puffed and golden brown. – Enjoy!

  2. Instead of using orange juice and orange zest, is it all right to use crushed pineapples?

  3. That would be quite the different combination, although I believe it should be just fine ;) If you try it, let me know how it worked out for you okay?!
