Pesto Sweet Potatoes

50 Things to Make with Pesto, p. 2

Sweet potatoes

¾ cup pesto

4 tablespoons softened butter

Bake sweet potatoes at 425F until tender, 40 minutes. 

Contents may have shifted during flight.

Quarter lengthwise.

Careful! Hot!

 Mash pesto into butter.

I think "smoosh" is the preferred term. 

 Spread over sweet potatoes. 

I used about half of the pesto butter on one potato. But obviously that's up to your potato discretion.

My Rating: 4/5 "I was ready for this to be pretty weird, but the flavors actually complement each other well. The sweetness of the potatoes meets the earthy herbiness of the pesto in a good place. Messy to eat, though, so have a napkin ready. This isn't a dish to eat when you're trying to impress people with your impeccable table manners."
