# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It balances sweet, spicy, and creamy in every bite without feeling heavy.
  • You can prep the sweet potatoes ahead and assemble bowls in under five minutes all week.
  • The hot honey drizzle makes everything taste restaurant-level fancy with zero effort.
02 -
  • Crowding the baking sheet will steam the sweet potatoes instead of crisping them, give them space to breathe.
  • Taste your hot honey before drizzling, some hot sauces are much spicier than others and you can always add more but can't take it back.
03 -
  • Use a cast iron skillet instead of a baking sheet if you want even crispier sweet potatoes, the heat retention makes a difference.
  • Add a squeeze of lime juice over the avocado right before serving, the acidity brightens the whole bowl and keeps the avocado from browning.
