For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of melted butter for the topping. Add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the squash mixture for extra warmth. If you don't have sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds (pepitas) make a great substitute. The casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
