Things I’ve Learned

Make sure to cut the sweet potatoes uniformly for even cooking. If preparing in advance, roast them and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for maximum crispness. If you like it spicier, add more chili sauce or sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes before serving for an extra kick.
