Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped pecans

  • 4 teaspoons honey

  • 1 cup brown sugar, divided

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • 5 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes

  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream

  • 3 tablespoons butter, cut into cubes

  • 2 tablespoons orange juice

  • teaspoon ground nutmeg, or to taste

  • teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste

  • 1 (10.5 ounce) package miniature marshmallows

Directions

  1. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

  2. Spread pecans out on a baking sheet and drizzle honey over pecans. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon brown sugar and white sugar over the top.

  3. Cook pecans in the preheated oven until honey starts to bubble and nuts are fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove nuts from oven and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  4. Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.

  5. Combine sweet potatoes, remaining brown sugar, cream, butter, orange juice, nutmeg, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Stir pecans into sweet potato mixture. Spread mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and top with marshmallows.

  6. Bake casserole in the oven until marshmallows are golden brown, about 10 minutes.
