Sweet potatoes on the grill have a smoky, caramelized flavor you can't achieve in the oven. These are mildly spicy, but adjust the cayenne to suit your taste. These are excellent served with grilled pork or fish.

MAPLE-GLAZED SWEET POTATO WEDGES WITH BACON



Maple-Glazed Sweet Potato Wedges With Bacon image

To make maple-glazed sweet potatoes irresistible, you may want to look to bacon, another of maple syrup's best friends, for a salty, smoky boost. The bacon fries in the oven while the sweet potato cooks, leaving the stove open (grits? oatmeal? fried eggs?) and avoiding the messy sputtering of bacon cooking in a skillet.

Categories     dinner, weekday, vegetables, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 4 medium potatoes), scrubbed and dried
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon maple syrup
8 ounces thick-cut bacon
Flaky salt, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 3 or 4 wedges, 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick.
  • In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with the oil and salt. Spread onto the baking sheet in a single layer, leaving a little space between the pieces. (Use two baking sheets if you need to).
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then drizzle with the maple syrup, toss, and return to the oven for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the wedges are deeply brown on both sides.
  • Once you've tossed the potatoes, place the bacon on an unlined sheet pan. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until crisp and cooked through. Place on a paper towel to drain (pour fat from the sheet pan into a jar and store in your refrigerator to use later, or discard), then chop into 1/2-inch pieces and toss with sweet potato wedges and the remaining teaspoon maple syrup. Garnish with flaky salt and serve immediately.
