• Pro Tips

  1. Choose evenly sized potatoes: This helps all three roast at the same pace.

  2. Don’t rush the roasting: Let the sweet potatoes caramelize fully for the richest flavor.

  3. Whip the goat cheese cold: It gives the topping a creamy, spreadable texture.

  4. Remove sage early: Leaving the leaves in too long can cause bitterness.

  5. Finish with extra hot honey: A fresh drizzle right before serving wakes up all the flavors.

  Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Wash and pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork. Rub with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.

  3. Roast for 45–60 minutes, until fork-tender and caramelized.

  4. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in garlic and sage leaves and sauté until fragrant, 1–2 minutes.

  5. Add Honey House Hot Honey and lemon juice. Simmer for 2 minutes, remove sage leaves, and set aside.

  6. In a bowl, add goat cheese, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until thick and smooth, 1–2 minutes.

  7. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté chorizo until warm and lightly crispy, 4–5 minutes.

  8. Slice open the roasted sweet potatoes, top with a generous spoonful of whipped goat cheese, and drizzle with the hot honey-sage butter.

  9. Garnish with fresh thyme and an extra drizzle of Honey House Hot Honey, then serve warm and melty.

  Storage Tips

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

  • Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10–12 minutes to restore crisp edges.

  • Store toppings (goat cheese mixture, chorizo, sauce) separately for best texture.

  Recipe Notes

  The combination of roasted sweet potatoes, creamy goat cheese, spicy chorizo, and sweet-heat honey creates layers of flavor that taste far more complex than the recipe requires. The garlic-sage butter deepens the warmth and aroma, making this a perfect fall or winter dish.

  We use Honey House Hot Honey because it’s 100% pure, raw, American-sourced honey infused with real chili heat — no additives, no weird syrups, just real flavor. It caramelizes beautifully on roasted vegetables and adds depth without overpowering the natural sweetness of the potatoes.
