Method
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly coat a 9x13" casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.
Place the sweet potatoes in a pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 12–15 minutes until fork‑tender. Drain well.
Transfer the cooked sweet potatoes to a large bowl and mash together with brown sugar, softened butter, vanilla, maple syrup, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon until smooth and well combined.
Spread the sweet potato mash evenly in the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top, then cover with miniature marshmallows.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
