# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under an hour but tastes like you spent way more time thinking about it.
  • The hot honey drizzle is addictive—that sweet-spicy-savory balance hits different than most bowls.
  • You can meal prep the roasted sweet potatoes and assemble fresh whenever hunger strikes.
02 -
  • Slice the avocado last—even the best intentions can't save an avocado from turning brown while you wait for potatoes to roast.
  • The hot honey needs to go on warm potatoes so it coats everything; if your potatoes have cooled, they won't hold the drizzle as beautifully.
03 -
  • Don't skip turning the potatoes halfway through roasting—it's what gets those edges crispy instead of just soft.
  • Taste your hot honey before drizzling; you can always add more heat, but you can't take it back.
