How to make hot honey diced sweet potatoes:
Step One:
Preheat oven to 425f. Wash, peel and dice sweet potatoes then place in a bowl. In a small sauce pan, combine the butter, honey, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine. Bring the sauce to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer stirring frequently for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step Two:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour about 3/4 of the sauce over the sweet potatoes, keep some reserved to top with after baking. Toss the sweet potatoes in the sauce until well coated. Spread the sweet potatoes out on the baking sheet. Bake 20-25 minutes or until fork tender.
Step Three:
Once the sweet potatoes are fork tender removed from the oven. At this point you can either drizzle the remaining sauce over the potatoes while they are on the pan and serve directly from the pan, or you can transfer the potatoes to a bowl and toss with the remaining sauce.
Note: If the sauce has thickened too much while then potatoes were cooking, just quickly reheat the sauce on the stove before drizzling the potatoes.
TIPS:
– If you are in a bit of a time crunch, you can peel and cut the potatoes in advance. Just put them in a bowl and cover with water. Place them in the fridge until you are ready to cook, and then just drain off the water first.
-I used a sriracha style hot sauce for us, but feel free to use your own preferred hot sauce. Use less or more depending on your heat preference.
