# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Sweet and Spicy: The hot honey drizzle adds a sophisticated kick that pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables.
  • Nutrient-Dense: Packed with healthy fats from avocado and high-quality carbohydrates from sweet potatoes.
  • Quick Prep: Minimal hands-on time makes it ideal for busy weekdays.
02 -
  • Uniform Cutting: Ensure sweet potato cubes are roughly the same size (1-inch) so they roast at the same rate.
  • Honey Flow: If your honey is too thick, microwave it for 5-10 seconds before mixing it with the hot sauce for an easier drizzle.
  • Herb Freshness: Add the cilantro or parsley at the very last second to preserve its color and fresh aroma.
