How to Make Hot Honey Baked Sweet Potato

1. Bake the sweet potato

Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Place the sweet potato on a baking tray and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until soft in the centre.

2. Add the cottage cheese

Slice the sweet potato open and fluff the inside slightly with a fork. Heap cottage cheese on top.

3. Drizzle the honey & sprinkle chilli flakes

Drizzle honey over the cottage cheese and finish with a pinch of chilli flakes.

Why This Combination Works 😋

This hot honey sweet potato with cottage cheese works so well because the flavours balance perfectly. The sweet potato is naturally sweet and soft, the cottage cheese adds creaminess and protein, and the hot honey brings sweetness with a little kick of heat.

It’s a simple combination but one that hits all the right notes.

Easy Ways to Switch It Up 🥰

Once you’ve made this once, it’s easy to change it up with things you already have at home.
