Cornflakes Topping
Tossed with melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt, the cornflakes turn golden and crunchy in the oven.
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Roast fresh sweet potatoes until tender to concentrate flavor instead of boiling or using canned ones.
Silky Purée

For the silkiest purée, skip the potato masher and use a food processor for smooth texture.
FAQ: Make Ahead
Sweet potatoes can be roasted up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated until ready for baking.
FAQ: No Marshmallows
Skip marshmallows for a sweet topping using cornflakes alone.
FAQ: Gluten-Free
Check cornflakes for gluten-free certification to avoid barley-based malt syrup.
