Ingredients
- 5 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into thin rounds,
- a generous ¾ cup of rich, packed brown sugar,
- a hint of fragrant ground cinnamon,
- a touch of warming ground ginger,
- a sprinkle of aromatic ground nutmeg,
- a moderate ½ teaspoon of salt,
- a scattering of butter pieces totaling ¼ cup,
- a handful of coarsely chopped cashews,
- a delightful 1 cup of miniature marshmallows.
Step 1
To kickstart the baking magic, heat up your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and show some love to a 9x13 inch baking dish by giving it a light greasing.
Step 2
In a large pot, let the sweet potatoes take a relaxing soak in water until they're fully covered. Bring it all to a bubbly dance, and let them simmer until a fork can glide through effortlessly, which should take around 10 minutes. Once they're ready, bid farewell to the water and let the potatoes chill out.
Step 3
Now, in a bowl, create a flavor explosion by mixing brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and don't forget to invite the cashews to the party.
Step 4
Start the artistic process by laying down a bed of sweet potatoes in the baking dish. Sprinkle half of the delectable brown sugar mix on top, then add a dash of butter. Repeat this mesmerizing layering with the remaining sweet potatoes, brown sugar mix, and butter.
Step 5
As the oven turns your creation into a masterpiece, let it bake for approximately 30 minutes until the sweet potatoes are coated in that irresistible brown sugar blend. Sprinkle a generous amount of mini marshmallows on top and pop it back into the oven to get them golden brown, which should take about 5 minutes. Enjoy the sweet symphony of flavors!
