Marshmallow Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

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.
