Bacon Wrapped Sweet Potatoes

Bacon Wrapped Sweet Potatoes are a super simple side dish for weeknight dinners and delicious enough for holiday meals and special occasions.

Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite side dishes, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Sweet Potato Fries and even Sweet Potato Casserole are great with just about any meal.

I am a believer that bacon does make everything better like our Bacon White Cheddar Pasta or Bacon Hashbrown Casserole. If you aren't a fan of the sweet marshmallow topped sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving dinner, give these sweet potato stacks a try.

Step By Step Directions

• Slice sweet potatoes into ¼ inch slices. A mandoline slicer works great to get even slices.
• Use a cookie cutter to cut the center of the slices into perfect circles.
• Stack 4 slices of sweet potato together.
• Wrap a slice of bacon around each stack. Tuck the bottom of the bacon on the bottom side of the sweet potato stacks.

• Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• Add the brown sugar to a bowl with smoked paprika and salt. Mix well.
• Remove sweet potatoes from the oven.
• Spoon brown sugar mixture over the sweet potatoes.
• Return to the oven and bake another 15- 20 minutes until sweet potatoes are cooked through and bacon is crisp.

• Cool a few minutes on the baking sheet.

• Move to a serving platter.

These bacon wrapped sweet potatoes make a delicious side dish or serve them as an appetizer. They are delicious right out of the oven or at room temperature.
