# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under an hour and tastes like you spent way more effort than you actually did.
  • The contrast between crispy potatoes, creamy cottage cheese, and that spicy-sweet honey is honestly addictive.
  • It's naturally vegetarian and gluten-free without feeling like you're missing anything.
02 -
  • Don't skip the halfway stir, or your potatoes will cook unevenly and stick to the pan.
  • Make the hot honey right before serving, because the spice mellows out if it sits too long in the honey.
03 -
  • Cut your sweet potatoes to the same size so they all finish roasting at the same time without any undercooked pieces.
  • Let the hot honey cool just slightly so it doesn't completely wilt the avocado, but it's still warm enough to taste amazing.
