Method
 

Hasselback Sweet Potatoes
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Peel the sweet potatoes, cutting off the rough ends.
  4. Make thin, even slices all along the sweet potato, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cinnamon, honey, butter, orange juice, and salt.
  6. Drizzle the honey and butter mixture into the slices of each sweet potato.
  7. Using a cheese spreader or small spoon, put a dollop of goat cheese into each incision on the sweet potato.
  8. Garnish the insides of the sweet potatoes with chopped pecans.
  9. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes can be easily poked with a fork.
  10. Serve warm.
