To save time, Sandra Lee makes this side dish using canned sweet potatoes. It's easy to cook in a slow cooker or multi-cooker: just add the sweet potatoes, sprinkle with spices, and you can forget about them for a few hours. A few minutes before serving, she sprinkles the spiced sweet potatoes with marshmallows, which melt deliciously on the surface, creating a stunning contrast with the savory vegetables.
