Ingredients in Sweet Potato Marshmallow Bites
Making this recipe is quite simple and only requires a handful of ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Sweet Potatoes – Medium sized sweet potatoes work best.
- Marshmallows – Use 1 Large Marshmallow or 3-4 Mini Marshmallows.
- Pecans – Full pecan halves look the best but pecan pieces can be used as well.
- Brown Sugar – Maple syrup or Honey can be swapped out for the brown sugar.
- Butter – Olive oil, margarine or coconut oil can be switched for butter.
- Sea Salt – Himalayan or regular table salt can also be used.
How Do You Make Sweet Potato Bites?
To make these delicious gluten free sweet potato bites:
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400 F. Then peel the sweet potatoes.
Step 2: Slice the peeled sweet potatoes into 1/4″ thick rounds. In a mixing bowl, cover the potato rounds with the melted butter and the brown sugar. Toss until they’re completely coated.
Step 3: Place the sweet potato rounds onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with tops with the sea salt. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway.
Step 4: Turn your oven to broil. Place a marshmallow on top of each of the rounds and broil until slightly browned. Watch closely, it should only take a minute. Remove from the oven and place a pecan on top of each of the browned marshmallows.
Should I Peel the Sweet Potatoes?
I do peel the sweet potatoes for these sweet potato bites because I find the skin a bit to tough but if you’re ok with the skin, you can leave it on.
How Thinly Should I Slice the Sweet Potatoes?
Slice the sweet potatoes into rounds approximately 1/4-inch thick. If they’re too thin, the marshmallow and pecan will be too heavy. Try to cut the sweet potatoes as straight as possible, even a slight angle will cause the marshmallows to slide off.
How Do You Store Sweet Potato Bites?
These sweet potatoes with marshmallows and pecans on top will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 4 days. They’re surprisingly good cold.

Tips for Making the Best Marshmallow Sweet Potato Bites:
– Because the sweet potatoes are hot when you place the marshmallows on them, they can melt the marshmallows from the bottom first. This can make them a bit messy. To keep them looking extra pretty, you can let the potatoes cool slightly before putting the marshmallows on top or try to put the marshmallows on top as quickly as possible and get them back in the oven. Some people also found cutting the marshmallows in half helped keep them from melting too much.
– Try to cut the sweet potatoes as straight as possible, even a slight angle will cause the marshmallows to slide off.
– Use sweet potatoes close to the same size, so rounds will cook evenly.
– You can make this recipe without marshmallows or nuts. Just prep and bake the sweet potatoes as directed and then just stop there.
– If marshmallows slide off the sweet potato rounds, just push them back into the middle.
– If you don’t have any parchment paper, you’ll need to grease the pan well so that the potatoes don’t stick.
