"There's no better way to warm up than with a soothing batch of roasted sweet potatoes, particularly if you've taken care to sauce and season them in a way that complements their natural flavor. If you want to turn up the heat on an already comforting dish, substitute hot honey for the standard version in our honey-roasted sweet potatoes recipe from Tasting Table recipe developer Hayley MacLean."
"This easy ingredient upgrade will do wonders for your meal, providing the right balance between sweetness and heat to deepen the complexity of your sweet potatoes. The honey in this recipe is mixed with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and cinnamon and used as a sort of marinade for the sweet potatoes before oven-roasting. As such, the hot honey swap can be made at an approximately 1:1 ratio, allowing the element of spice to effectively play off of the ground cinnamon and black pepper."
"Mike's Hot Honey or any other popular hot honey brands are typically made using either fresh or dried chilies, creating a sort of spicy spin on regular sweet honey. This blend of spice and sweetness opens up new possibilities for other ingredient additions and swaps. If you choose to make your own hot honey for more control over the spice, it will allow you to try different variations on the combination of sweetness and spice."
Roasted sweet potatoes gain depth when coated in a honey-based marinade mixed with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and cinnamon before oven-roasting. Replacing regular honey with hot honey at roughly a 1:1 ratio adds spicy heat that complements ground cinnamon and black pepper. Commercial hot honeys typically incorporate fresh or dried chilies to create a sweet-and-spicy flavor profile. Homemade hot honey allows control over heat and flavor by mixing Calabrian chili paste, crushed red pepper flakes, or Gojuchang into preferred honey. Flavor can be further amplified by using different peppercorns such as Sichuan, pink, or tricolor.
