Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the sliced sweet potatoes to the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with melted butter and maple syrup and season with cinnamon and salt. Toss the sweet potatoes to make sure they are well coated and then arrange in a single layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Top each sweet potato round with one marshmallow, and broil on high for 30-60 seconds, until the marshmallow puffs. Working quickly and carefully, press one pecan half on top of each sweet potato bite. Serve immediately.

My Top Tip: Use a fork to check whether your sweet potatoes are cooked. They should be fork-tender when pierced! It should take around 20 to 25 minutes depending on the thickness of the slices.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-4 days. When you're ready to eat, heat your potatoes at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until warmed through, or heat them in the microwave on 30-second intervals until warm and gooey. Freezing is not recommended.
Make Ahead Tips: You can slice the sweet potatoes in advance to save on the prep work. If you're just peeling them a few hours ahead, then you can just store them anywhere until you're ready. However, if you're going to be making them 2-3 days in advance, then store them in cold water and refrigerate it. When ready to cook just drain and pat dry.
