Spiced mashed sweet potatoes topped with pecans and mini marshmallows, baked in a small dish for two servings.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked mashed sweet potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • ¼ cup pecans
  • ½ cup miniature marshmallows

Directions

  • Heat the oven to 350°F and butter a 5-by-5-inch baking dish.
  • Stir the brown sugar and all the spices together, then mix them into the mashed sweet potatoes.
  • Stir in the beaten egg and spread the mixture in the dish. Scatter the pecans over the top.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Take it out, cover the top with the marshmallows, and bake 10 more minutes, until they puff and brown.
  • Let it sit for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

To make it ahead, put it together without the marshmallows and refrigerate it for up to 1 day. Add the marshmallows for the last 10 minutes of baking.
