1/4 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to recreate the perfect Texas Roadhouse loaded sweet potatoes in your own kitchen
Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Poke them a few times with a fork, which lets the steam escape while baking. Arrange them on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Bake the Sweet Potatoes: Bake for about 45 minutes to an hour or until soft. To test, poke them with a fork; it should slide in easily.
Make the Cinnamon Butter Mixture: In a bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until smooth. This is what adds that sweet, warm flavor.
Slice and Fluff: Once your sweet potatoes are done, carefully cut each one open and use a fork to fluff up the insides. This makes it easier to mix the toppings in.
Add Toppings: Place a dollop of the cinnamon butter mixture on each sweet potato, then sprinkle marshmallows on top.
Broil for a Golden Finish: Turn your oven to broil and put the potatoes back in for 2-3 minutes, just until the marshmallows turn golden brown. Watch closely, as they can burn quickly.
Serve and Enjoy: These Texas Roadhouse-style Loaded Sweet Potatoes are best enjoyed fresh and warm.
