Description
Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows is a rich, sweet, and creamy side dish made with simple pantry staples. Perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or weeknight comfort meals.
Ingredients
Scale
5 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 (10.5 ounce) package miniature marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the sweet potatoes. Place the peeled and sliced sweet potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Mash and blend. Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Add brown sugar, butter, orange juice, and a pinch of cinnamon. Mix with an electric mixer until fully combined and creamy.
- Assemble the casserole. Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Add marshmallow topping. Evenly sprinkle miniature marshmallows over the top.
- Bake until golden. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the marshmallows are puffed and golden brown.
- Cool slightly and serve. Let the dish rest a few minutes before serving to allow the topping to set.
Notes
Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for extra spice. For a nutty twist, top with chopped pecans. Tent with foil during baking if marshmallows brown too quickly.
