How to Make Sweet Potato Bites

Prep

Start by heating your oven nice and hot. Peel two medium potato-sized sweet potatoes and slice them into even rounds so they roast evenly.

Coat

Toss the slices in melted butter with a little salt. This helps them caramelize as they bake.

Bake

Spread them out and bake until the bottoms are slightly darkened. Flip halfway so they cook evenly like the best simple roasted sweet potatoes.

Add Toppings

When the slices are soft, drizzle each piece with a bit of maple syrup. Top with half a marshmallow and broil until golden. Keep an eye on them—marshmallows toast quickly.

Finish

Add a crunchy sweet potato pecan half on top of each one. Serve warm for a sweet, cozy flavor that’s perfect for small bites, holiday appetizers, or fall potato side dishes.
