Best Scalloped Sweet Potatoes with Brown Sugar

Print Recipe

Delicious scalloped sweet potatoes enhanced with brown sugar and spices, perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1½ pounds), peeled and thinly sliced (⅛ inch thick)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup mini marshmallows (optional for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Peel and thinly slice sweet potatoes to about ⅛-inch thickness for even baking. Layer them neatly in the baking dish, slightly overlapping.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add brown sugar, heavy cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and the sugar has dissolved completely.
  4. Pour the warm sauce evenly over the sweet potatoes, using a spatula to gently coat all slices.
  5. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 20–25 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and the sauce is bubbling.
  7. In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle mini marshmallows over the top. Bake until golden and gooey.
  8. Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For creamier texture, you can add more heavy cream. Adjust spices to taste.
