How to make the viral hot honey bowl?

Start by roasting halved sweet potatoes until tender. Fill them with your choice of taco-seasoned protein (like turkey or black beans), then pile on toppings like avocado, cabbage, red onion, and cotija cheese. The key finishing touch? A generous drizzle of hot honey—either store-bought or homemade with honey and chili flakes.

Can you eat sweet potatoes with honey?

Absolutely. Sweet potatoes and honey are a natural pairing. The earthiness of sweet potatoes balances beautifully with honey’s rich sweetness. When spiced—like in hot honey—it brings a bold contrast that’s both comforting and exciting, making it ideal for savory dishes like taco bowls or even breakfast bakes.

Do sweet potatoes go with tacos?

They do, and incredibly well! Their soft texture and sweet flavor provide a delicious base that soaks up taco-seasoned fillings. Roasted sweet potatoes are a perfect stand-in for tortillas in gluten-free diets, making dishes like turkey and sweet potato taco bowls a hearty, wholesome twist on traditional tacos.

How to make a bowl out of a sweet potato?

Roast a medium to large sweet potato whole at 400°F for 45–60 minutes. Once soft, slice it lengthwise and gently mash the flesh with a fork to create space for fillings. The skin naturally holds its shape, forming an edible “bowl” that’s perfect for piling on taco toppings—just like we do with our cottage cheese sweet potato version.
