# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The sweet potatoes get these addictive crispy edges while staying tender inside, making every bite interesting.
  • It comes together in under 45 minutes, which means you can make it on a weeknight without stress.
  • The hot honey drizzle transforms something wholesome into something that actually tastes indulgent.
02 -
  • The avocado must go in just before eating, otherwise it will oxidize and turn brown—I learned this the hard way by making this bowl in the morning and being disappointed at lunch.
  • Cottage cheese tastes way better when it's cold and creamy against the warm sweet potatoes, so don't be tempted to mix it in early.
  • One teaspoon of hot sauce might sound small, but it actually creates the perfect sweet-spicy balance—start there and add more only if you want to challenge your taste buds.
03 -
  • Don't skip the step of tossing the potatoes halfway through roasting—it's the difference between some crispy edges and all crispy edges, and honestly, all crispy edges is what you want.
  • Buy avocados that are just slightly soft when you buy them, because they'll be perfect by the time you're eating them and not brown and sad on the inside.
