Sweet Potato & Marshmallow Crostini

Sweet Potato Crostini is a fun twist on the classic sweet potato casserole, but in appetizer form. It has all the cozy flavors of the holiday table. Cinnamon sugar toast, creamy sweet potatoes, crunchy pecans, and toasted marshmallows, layered into one bite-sized snack.

What makes this recipe special is how familiar yet unexpected it feels. The sweet potato mixture adds warmth and texture, while the marshmallows bring that nostalgic touch everyone associates with holiday comfort food.

Helpful Tips

• Slice bread evenly: Thin, even slices help the crostini toast up at the same rate and keep them sturdy for toppings.
• Watch the broiler closely: Marshmallows can go from golden to burnt in seconds, so keep an eye on them.
• Make ahead: Toast the bread and prep the sweet potato mixture in advance, then assemble and broil just before serving.
