# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The sauce comes together in two minutes and makes everything taste expensive
  • You can prep all the vegetables while the sweet potatoes roast so no active cooking time overlaps
  • This bowl somehow manages to feel indulgent while being entirely plant based
02 -
  • The sauce will thicken in the refrigerator so thin it again with a little water before serving leftovers
  • Sweet potatoes can vary wildly in how long they take to roast so check them at 20 minutes and trust your fork
03 -
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking
  • Warm the peanut butter for 15 seconds in the microwave if it is too stiff to whisk smoothly
