This grilled sweet potatoes recipe with hemp seed and almond pesto treats the sweet potato the way it deserves to be treated. Just because it's called a potato doesn't mean that you can only eat it baked or as fries or as chips (but I'll mess with a sweet potato fry). We're grilling it for some extra charred flavor, but you can roast it in the oven too. Then we're adding a hemp seed pesto with nutritional yeast. It's accidentally vegan, but it's purposefully delicious. Give it a try.
