Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large sweet potatoes, about 2 lbs, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch cubes
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup butter, sliced into pieces
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Spray an 8-quart slow cooker with non-stick spray.
- Place the sweet potatoes in the slow cooker. Add the brown sugar, maple syrup, butter, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and set it to cook on high for 4 hours, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
- There will be extra sauce at the bottom when done cooking. You can pour it out if desired or leave it to drizzle over the sweet potatoes when serving.
- Five minutes before serving, remove the lid and top with mini marshmallows. Place the lid back on and allow the marshmallows to melt for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For an extra touch, you can drizzle some of the remaining syrupy sauce over the marshmallows before serving.
- If you prefer a crispy topping, place the sweet potatoes and marshmallows under the broiler for a couple of minutes (watch closely to avoid burning).
