Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds, then pat dry on paper towels.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and remaining 2 tbsp butter in a bowl, then sprinkle evenly over potatoes.

  4. Step 4

    Roast uncovered for 12 minutes until potatoes soften and edges start to caramelize and curl.

  5. Step 5

    Toss chopped pecans with vanilla and sea salt, then scatter over potatoes along with marshmallows.

  6. Step 6

    Roast 3 more minutes until marshmallows puff and turn golden. Serve hot straight from the skillet.
