Sweet potato, brown sugar, and cinnamon... what's not to like? It's a classic flavor combination and a lot less work than sweet potato pie.

However, mine also turned out dry. Not unpleasantly so - just a consistency I associate with roasted vegetables, not dessert. Part of the problem may have been that I microwaved the sweet potatoes. Boiling or steaming may have left more moisture in them. But then they're sauteed and baked, so maybe not. I was tempted to add a liquid (maybe orange juice, maybe bourbon) to get a syrup started. I also cheated and used panko instead of fresh bread crumbs; that would have left a bit of moisture too.

Everything came together when my wife pointed out that it needed a scoop of ice cream. (Ben & Jerry's Peach Cobbler, to be precise.) There's the moisture, and a contrasting texture and temperature. Of course, you won't get that kind of advice when you get recipes from a fitness site...
