Stuffed Sweet Potatoes: tender baked sweet potatoes are stuffed with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, pecans and marshmallows to create a tasty southern side dish.

Sweet Potatoes are my favorite vegetable. EVER. No seriously, ever.

I have yet to find a single way that I will not eat them. Sweet, savory or just plain — I’m in.

However, once you take it to the next level and stuff delicious things inside of a sweet potato, I’m a goner.

This is one of our favorite easy side dishes with a southern flare for nights we are grilling steaks or for a fun sweet potato spin on Thanksgiving!

Marshmallow Stuffed Sweet Potato Fillings

I keep these stuffed sweet potatoes incredibly straight forward and simple.

Butter, mini marshmallows, brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans. You probably already have all of these ingredients in your pantry!

If you have ever been, they are very similar to the loaded sweet potatoes you can get at Texas Roadhouse.

However, I added roasted pecans. The crunch adds a little something extra to them, but is not necessary if you don’t like nuts.

If you don’t have some good pecans on hand, you can also use walnuts in their place.

    I saw this was on your vegetarian page. Please know that marshmallows are made with gelatin, which is from animal bone. If you want it truly vegetarian, you will have to buy gelatin-free marshmallows. Otherwise, your recipe looks great!! Yum!

    I had leftover roasted sweet potatoes I needed to use. My husband loves marshmallow topped casserole but I’m not a fan, and I was tired. This seemed like the perfect shortcut. I split them, warmed them up, and followed the recipe from there. He got marshmallows on his, I skipped them on mine. Deeeelish!! And easy peasy! I’m always looking for the quick fix in the kitchen. I’ll be posting this on my fb cooking page, with a link to your recipe. Ty!!!

    I’ll have this tonight with a small pork chop. Sounds so good. This would be good with a piece of baked Butternut or Acorn squash.

    Where can I get sugar free marshmallows
    Can handle all the other sugar but being diabetic marshmallows I can’t substitute
