07 - Drizzle with hot honey and sprinkle with optional garnishes. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The roasted sweet potatoes get these incredibly crispy, caramelized edges that feel indulgent while the bowl stays completely wholesome.
  • Hot honey is a game-changer that transforms simple ingredients into something people will actually ask you to make again.
  • It comes together in under 45 minutes, making it perfect for those nights when you want something nourishing but don't have hours to spend cooking.
02 -
  • Don't skip turning the potatoes halfway through roasting, because one side will inevitably brown faster than the other and you want that crispy texture all over.
  • The hot honey is best made just before serving so it stays liquid enough to drizzle, and if you make it too far in advance it can thicken up.
03 -
  • Cut your sweet potatoes as uniformly as possible so they finish roasting at the same time instead of some being mushy while others are still firm.
  • Taste the hot honey and hot sauce mixture before drizzling it on, because heat levels vary wildly between brands and you might need less or more than you expect.
