Every once in a while, I stumble upon a recipe that blows me away both in its simplicity and its flavor. Easy recipes are my favorite and when a no-fuss recipe ends up getting rave reviews from both me and Ryan, I instantly become a fan and the recipe makes it into my not-so-organized recipe folder for future use and inspiration.
This recipe for roasted sweet potato wedges with a hot honey drizzle was one of those recipes!
The recipe appeared in a Blue Apron delivery we received earlier this month that called for the hot honey to be drizzled over chicken and sweet potato wedges and served with a fresh kale slaw seasoned with caraway seeds, celery seeds and ground mustard.
It was the kind of meal that had us wishing we had leftovers to enjoy the following night, so I ended up copying the sweet potato and hot honey drizzle recipe to use as a side dish to serve with burgers on the grill later in the week.
The recipe requires minimal ingredients and minimal prep work but seriously delivers on flavor!

Description
This recipe for roasted sweet potato wedges with hot honey drizzle is the perfect side dish for those who love a little heat with somethin’ sweet!
Ingredients
- Two sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475°F. Wash and dry sweet potatoes. Halve the sweet potatoes lengthwise; slicing each half into fry-size wedges.

- Drizzle with as much of the hot honey as you’d like, serve and enjoy!
In the years we’ve been ordering Blue Apron deliveries, a handful of their recipes have made it into my recipe folder to recreate (one of their recipes inspired my beloved One Pot Chicken Cabbage Bowl with Sesame Ginger Broth) and I love trying new-to-me cooking techniques that also expose me to new flavor combinations and different cuisines.
Though I’m sure you’ve heard of Blue Apron by now if you’re a regular PBF reader, here’s a quick rundown of the meal delivery service for those who may be new to the blog: Blue Apron is a meal delivery service that ships all the farm-fresh ingredients you need to make chef-designed recipes right to your doorstep.
Recipes come with detailed recipe cards that include pictures of recipe steps to make the recipes easy to follow and prepare.
Two person and four person family plans are available and you can customize your recipes to make them vegetarian or include/exclude certain kinds of meat or poultry. (Their vegetarian dishes have been some of our all-time favorites!)

Shrimp and squid ink spaghetti!
I would love to try the Za’atar Chicken Burgers & Oven Fries!!! Sounds so yummy!
Vegetable pad thai for sure!
I’m seriously torn between the grilled goat cheese and plus jam sandwiches and the shrimp and squid ink pasta!!!
Sweet Corn & Tinkerbell Pepper Pizza – I mean, how cute is that name?! Everything looks beautiful and delicious but I think this veggie pizza would be perfect for a girls night in with some wine and Bachelorette 🙂
Oh yuum the spinach and basil pesto gnocchi! No matter how warm the weather is, I’m always down for pasta 🙂
Creamy Shrimp Fettuccini!
I would love to try Blue Apron – specifically the squid ink past or fish looks good to me. Those are things you don’t normally find in my kitchen and would be a great way for me to experiment with making them since I like both.
These sweet potatoes look amazing! The grilled goat cheese and plum jam sandwich sounds INCREDIBLE, but I had such a hard time picking one. They all look amazing. Now I’m hungry!
So delicious! I’m a HUGE roasted sweet potato fan (aka, sweet potato fries in our home) and LOVE making our own toppings. They just seem to make everything more delicious due to the personal touch.
I can’t wait to try this hot honey topping at home on everything though! Picturing it on broccoli sounds absolutely delicious, and much healthier than the usual cheesy topping go-to.
Thanks for sharing!

Mmm…definitely the vegetable pad thai! 🙂
Empanadas de Picadillo. Mmmm!

Julie, try combining honey and siracha for another sauce! We put it on our salmon burgers or regular burgers and it is wonderful. I will also try the honey and red pepper flakes and this recipe in general! As far as meals go, I would be all over the gnocchi as something new to us. I never make stuff like that as we generally go simple in our house.
The Serrano Pepper & Goat Cheese Burgers with Zucchini-Cilantro Slaw look amazing.
Enchiladas of course!
The Zucchini and Mozzarella Paninis sound great!
