Thanksgiving is a truly nostalgic time. That's why we partnered with OxiClean for this post.
I fully admit to just eating the roasted marshmallows off the top of the sweet potato casserole as a child. The gooey sweetness was so delicious alongside the slightly charred edges, followed with the creamy sweet potato base. Once I started hosting Thanksgiving, the traditional casserole changed into something a bit more grown up, but I still craved the original. This recipe couldn't be simpler and has a touch of a grown-up feel thanks to a final dusting of sea salt.
