Stuffed Sweet Potato Casserole for Two

Lamb

If you love sweet potato casserole, but don't have a crowd to enjoy it with, try this stuffed sweet potato "casserole" for two. One sweet potato yields the perfect amount for two people while keeping true to the classic flavors you'd expect for Thanksgiving and other holidays.

Ingredients

1 medium sweet potato (about 8 ounces)
2 teaspoons light brown sugar, divided
2 teaspoons butter, softened
⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon orange zest
1 tablespoon orange juice
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of salt
10 mini marshmallows
1 tablespoon chopped toasted pecans

Description

Position rack in upper third of oven. Preheat to 425°F.
Prick sweet potato all over with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake until tender when pierced with a knife, 45 to 50 minutes. Switch oven to broil.
When cool enough to handle, halve the sweet potato lengthwise and, leaving the skin intact, scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl. Add 1 teaspoon brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, orange zest, orange juice, nutmeg and salt; mash until chunky-smooth. Fill the potato skins with the sweet potato mixture and top with the remaining 1 teaspoon brown sugar and marshmallows.
Broil until the marshmallows are browned on top, 1 to 2 minutes. Top with pecans before serving.
