# How-To Steps:

04 - While sweet potatoes roast, slice the avocado and prepare garnishes.
05 - In a small bowl, mix honey and hot sauce to create the hot honey drizzle.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under an hour and actually tastes like you tried, even when you're half-asleep.
  • The combination of crispy, creamy, and spicy-sweet is dangerously addictive and keeps you satisfied all morning.
  • You can eat it warm right out of the oven or let it cool and grab it as a cold bowl later.
02 -
  • Don't skip the halfway stir during roasting, or you'll end up with some burnt corners and some pale sides, which is a real letdown.
  • The hot honey transforms completely once it hits the warm potatoes, so resist the urge to make it ahead and let it sit.
03 -
  • Cut your sweet potatoes slightly smaller than you think you need them to be, because they'll shrink as they cook and you want them chewy inside and crispy outside.
  • Make your hot honey ahead of time and keep it in a small jar in the fridge—it actually gets better as the flavors meld together, and you'll find yourself drizzling it on everything.
