Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 3 teaspoons butter use butter alternative for vegan
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup mini marshmallows optional; do not use for vegetarian/vegan
Instructions
- If you are baking other foods, wash and poke the sweet potatoes a couple of times and bake them until they are about ¾ done (about 45 minutes). Or, you can boil them with the skins on until they are almost done (about 20-30 minutes). Let them cool until you can handle them and then peel the skins off.
- Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Slice the potatoes in half and then cut the halves into 1-inch slices.
- Place the sweet potato slices in the casserole dish, one layer thick.
- Dot with tiny bits of butter (1 teaspoon per layer), sprinkle one or two tablespoons of brown sugar over the potato layer and sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Repeat layers until you have no more sweet potatoes. I made three layers in a casserole dish shaped like a bread pan. I alternated the way the sweet potatoes were placed: first and third layers went across the pan, second layer was placed in the opposite direction (lengthwise) to create some space between the sweet potato layers.
- Sprinkle the marshmallows on top and bake the casserole at 350F degrees for about 20-30 minutes. Serve hot.
