# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 45 minutes but tastes like you spent way more time on it.
  • The hot honey drizzle is dangerously good and youll want to put it on everything.
  • Its satisfying enough to be dinner but light enough that you wont feel weighed down afterward.
  • You can prep the sweet potatoes ahead and assemble bowls all week long.
02 -
  • Dont crowd the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet or they will steam and turn mushy instead of crispy.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool for a minute or two before assembling so the cottage cheese doesnt get too warm and runny.
  • Make extra hot honey because youll want it on hand for other meals, trust me.
03 -
  • Use a mix of white and orange sweet potatoes if you can find them, the colors make the bowl even more beautiful.
  • If your hot sauce is really mild, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey for extra kick.
  • Toast your seeds in a dry skillet for a minute before sprinkling them on top, it makes them taste so much better.
