⏲️ Make-Ahead & Storage Tips
- Make ahead: Roast the sweet potatoes up to 24 hours in advance. Store in the fridge and reheat before serving. Add honey, feta, and herbs just before serving.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Use the oven or air fryer to crisp them back up—microwaving will make them soft.
