  • Transfer sweet potatoes to a greased 13”x9” pan or medium casserole dish. In a small bowl mix crushed cornflakes, pecans, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon together.
  • Sprinkle the mixture on top of the sweet potatoes. Bake for 25 minutes. If the cornflakes start to burn, tent the dish with foil. 
  • Remove from the oven and add marshmallows scattered to the top.
  • Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until marshmallows are browned.
  • Server and enjoy!
