# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The honey creates these irresistible crispy edges that make you keep reaching for just one more piece
  • They come together in under 10 minutes of active prep time
02 -
  • Crowding the baking sheet prevents proper caramelization, so use two sheets if needed
  • The honey can burn quickly at high heat, so keep an eye on them during the last 5 minutes
03 -
  • Make sure your sweet potatoes are completely dry before tossing with oil for better caramelization
  • Let them sit for about 5 minutes after roasting to develop even more flavor
