Prepare the ingredients & make the hot honey:
1 Prepare the ingredients & make the hot honey:

Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and medium dice the sweet potatoes. Peel the carrots and grate on the large side of a box grater. Cut out and discard the core of the cabbage; thinly slice the leaves. Combine in a bowl. Halve the lime crosswise; squeeze the juice into a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the honey (kneading the packet before opening), 1/2 teaspoon of warm water, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.

While the sweet potatoes cook, whisk the mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the bowl of lime juice until smooth; season with salt and pepper.

Cook 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.* Transfer to a cutting board.
