Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Brush olive oil on the sweet potatoes and place in the oven on a foil-lined baking sheet for 45 minutes.
- Place the bacon on a wire rack on top of another foil-lined baking sheet and into the oven for 15-20 minutes or until crispy.
- Remove the sweet potatoes and bacon from the oven.
- Allow the potatoes to cool for 10-15 minutes then slice in half lengthwise.
- Scoop out 2-3 tbsp of sweet potato from the middle.
- Place a tablespoon of pesto in the center of each potato.

Notes
- The roasted sweet potato that's removed to make the potato skins can be stored in the refrigerator in a plastic container for up to a week. It’s great for making Mashed Sweet Potatoes.
- The pesto recipe should be made ahead of time or while the potatoes and bacon are roasting in the oven.
