against my better judgement, i followed your instructions to coat the sweet potatoes only in honey (without oil). just had to throw the whole thing out because they stuck to the pan and were too mushy to put in potato salad. also, the recipe doesn’t specify the preheat temperature.
I made some adjustments to the instructions. I am sorry you had issues but I’ve made this several times and hadn’t realized I didn’t include those simple steps. I corrected it, I truly appreciate you for commenting.
