Yes, though I personally like them straight from the oven/fresh. This is my make ahead instructions…Just store in an air-tight container in the fridge for 2-3 days and reheat in the microwave or back in the oven for 10 minutes to get them crispy again.
Trying later too excited!! Can I prep the sweet potatoes in the coating and let marinate for a few hours before using?
I personally haven’t, but I am sure that would still be ok 🙂 Wasn’t sure if it makes them get too soft.
