Stuffed Hasselback Sweet Potatoes

My friend Rivky from @spinachnspiceshared a hasselback sweet potato recipe, which inspired this recipe here. And it’s kosher for Passover!

Ingredients:
4 small sweet potatoes 
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided 
1 tbsp grapeseed oil 
1 shallot 
1/2 package @jacksgourmet facon (fake bacon), chopped 
3 medjool dates, pitted
2 garlic cloves, minced 
1 tbsp fresh rosemary 
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp cinnamon 
1/3 cup chopped pecans 
Salt and pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. 
Slice sweet potatoes into a hasselback. Brush with 1 tbsp olive oil. Bake for about 15 minutes, until potatoes have softened slightly. .
In the meantime, heat grapeseed oil over medium heat and sauté shallot and facon for a few minutes, until softened. 
Remove from heat and mix with remaining ingredients (including reserved 2 tbsp olive oil). .
Very gently, use this mixture to fill openings in sweet potato. Return to oven and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes – until sweet potato is easily pierced with a fork.
