Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Sweet Potato
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 Tablespoon Ghee
  • 7-9 Slices Thin Bacon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF
  • Peel sweet potato and cut into 1 inch pieces and transfer to medium pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil 3-4 minutes or until just barely fork tender. Drain and transfer to large bowl.
  • Toss sweet potatoes with cinnamon, cumin, paprika and ghee.
  • Cut bacon strips into thirds. Wrap each sweet potato bite with bacon and transfer to a greased, rimmed baking sheet seam side down. Brush remaining ghee/spice mixture over the tops of sweet potatoes.
  • Bake 15 minutes, flip and bake 10 more minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender and bacon is crisp.

Notes

Original recipe calls for 1/2 a sweet potato and 9 slices of baon. I preferred to increase the amount of sweet potato and use the same amount of all other ingredients. This will make 15-20 sweet potato bites, depending on size.
