Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Peel and slice sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch coins on a cutting board.
Step 2
Melt butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt; stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3
Layer sweet potato slices into the skillet, overlapping slightly and tossing gently with the brown sugar mixture to coat all pieces evenly.
Step 4
Scatter chopped pecans over the top. Bake uncovered for 12 minutes until edges are caramelized and potatoes are fork-tender.
Step 5
Remove from oven, scatter marshmallows over the top, and broil 2–3 minutes until marshmallows puff and toast lightly.
Step 6
Let cool 2 minutes before serving straight from the skillet.
