# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 45 minutes with almost no active cooking time, which means you can actually pull this off on a Tuesday.
  • The hot honey trick transforms basic ingredients into something that feels indulgent without requiring any fancy techniques or hard-to-find items.
02 -
  • Don't skip turning the potatoes halfway through roasting, because the difference between golden and burnt is literally about five minutes.
  • If your avocado isn't quite ripe, slice it anyway and let the warmth of the potatoes do some of the softening work for you.
03 -
  • If you want extra protein without changing the vibe, stir some cooked quinoa into the bottom of the bowl or add grilled chicken on the side.
  • Toasting your own seeds in a dry pan for two minutes transforms them from forgettable garnish to something people will actually notice and ask you about.
