Ingredients
 

  • 1 medium sweet potato
  • 2 teaspoons butter, at room temperature
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2-4 Tbsp mini marshmallows

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400˚F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Scrub the potato clean and pat dry. Prick potato a few times all around with a fork or knife. Mist all sides with olive oil spray and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the size. You’ll know when they’re ready when they’re soft to touch (use a mitt and gently squeeze) or when a knife glides easily through the largest portion.
  • Once the potato is finished cooking, remove pan from oven and let them slightly cool on the counter.
  • Slice sweet potato in half lengthwise. Then, using a fork, scrape and fluff some of the insides, being careful to leave the outside skin intact. Add a teaspoon of soft butter along with a light sprinkling of salt and cinnamon to each potato half and continue to carefully mix and mash the flesh until combined.
  • Top each potato half with mini marshmallows (gently press them into the potato flesh to set) and place the pan back in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the marshmallows are slightly browned and softened. Keep an eye on it so the marshmallows don’t burn.
