How do you make your sweet potato?
So tonight was the first time I've tried the actual vegetable (not the desert type) I baked it in tin foil at 400 for about 50 mins then put half a tablespoon of agave and sprinkled cinnamon. It was really good but wanted more ideas of what I can put. Maybe honey? Pecans? How do you make yours?
