Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup fresh cranberries (or frozen, we won’t judge)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (because we all need a little sweetness in our lives)
- 1/4 cup orange juice (hello, flavor explosion!)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (a must for that holiday spirit)
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (a dash of this goes a long way)
- 1/4 cup butter (melting heart emojis here)
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (because marshmallows make everything better)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get that heat rolling!
- In a large pot, boil the cubed sweet potatoes until tender, which should take about 15-20 minutes. You want them softer than your grandma’s hugs!
- Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the brown sugar, orange juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and melted butter. Give it a good mix like it’s karaoke night!
- Now, gently fold in the cranberries. These little gems are about to steal the show, so be nice to them!
- Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish and spread it out evenly. Don’t be shy! Flatten it out like a pancake.
- Top that beauty with mini marshmallows – layer them on generously. The more, the merrier for this sweet extravaganza!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the marshmallows are perfectly golden and toasted. Your kitchen will smell like heaven – no kidding!
- Once done, take it out and let it cool for a few minutes before diving in. This casserole is like a warm hug. Serve it as a side dish at your holiday gathering and watch as everyone fights over the last spoonful!
