# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything comes together with minimal active cooking time
  • The peanut sauce keeps in the fridge for days and makes everything taste better
02 -
  • The peanut sauce thickens in the fridge, so thin it with a splash of water before using leftovers
  • Sweet potatoes continue cooking after they come out of the oven, so pull them when theyre just tender
03 -
  • Dont overcrowd the baking sheet or the sweet potatoes will steam instead of roast
  • Warm the water before adding it to the sauce—it incorporates so much faster
