First prepare the sweet potatoes by washing them and, with a fork, carefully poking holes all over each sweet potato. Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast at 400 degrees for about 1 hour. Upon removing the sweet potatoes, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
After the sweet potatoes are cooked (fork tender), cut them in half. Wait for them to cool a bit so you can handle them.
Gently scoop out part of the inside flesh, leaving about ⅛ of an inch of flesh intact around the sides. Place the scooped out sweet potato flesh in a bowl.
Combine the scooped out sweet potato with JOI, bourbon, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
Add the mixture back into the sweet potato skins and sprinkle with marshmallows, if using. Place on the baking sheet.
Return the baking sheet to the oven for 10 minutes at 350 until marshmallows are browned.
Remove and top with extra maple syrup and pecans if using.
