Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds, then pat dry on paper towels.
Step 2
Melt 2 tbsp butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, then add sweet potato rounds in a single layer.
Step 3
Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and remaining 2 tbsp butter in a bowl, then sprinkle evenly over potatoes.
Step 4
Roast uncovered for 12 minutes until potatoes soften and edges start to caramelize and curl.
Step 5
Toss chopped pecans with vanilla and sea salt, then scatter over potatoes along with marshmallows.
Step 6
Roast 3 more minutes until marshmallows puff and turn golden. Serve hot straight from the skillet.
