Steps

1Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2Make the Brown Butter
3Add the diced butter to a small skillet or pot. Heat the skillet to medium heat. The butter will start to melt as the skillet heats up. Allow the butter to bubble and “cook” until it begins to change from a bright yellow color to a golden brown color. Continually stir the butter as you see the foam start to dissipate and brown bits begin to form in the bottom of the pan. Cook and stir the butter until it is a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma. Remove the butter from the heat and transfer to a heat safe dish to let cool slightly.
4Add the mashed sweet potato, brown butter, half and half, maple syrup, orange zest, spices, salt, vanilla extract, and whisked egg to a large mixing bowl. Stir until everything is well combined.
5Transfer the sweet potatoes to a deep 10 inch pie dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the potatoes evenly in the pie dish.
6Transfer the casserole to the oven and bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
7Remove the casserole from the oven and top with the mini marshmallows. You can use your hands to press the marshmallows into the casserole if needed. Place the casserole back in the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the marshmallows start to toast and become golden brown.
8Serve warm and enjoy!
