Ingredients

1 sweet potato
1 teaspoon butter OR coconut oil
1 teaspoon brown sugar
⅛ teaspoon cinnamon (to taste)
1 tablespoon marshmallow fluff
⅛ teaspoon Maldon sea salt flakes (to taste)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425° and line a baking sheet (for easy cleanup!)
Prior to roasting the sweet potato make sure you gently wash and completely dry it. Take a fork and prick a few holes around the potato.
Bake sweet potatoes at 425° rotating the potato every 10 minutes, so it doesn't overcook on one side. Bake until the sweet potato becomes soft and begin to caramelize (you should be able to easily poke a fork through them), about 40-50 minutes.
When potatoes are tender, remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Split potato in half lengthwise, and push top and bottom together to open it up.
From there, evenly place small pats of butter or coconut oil inside.
Sprinkle with a bit of brown sugar and sea salt.
Top with a little bit of creamy marshmallow fluff and dust with cinnamon- Enjoy!
