Time 1h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in 1-inch chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
5 slices smoked bacon, chopped
1 pound onions, thinly sliced
1 cup pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Toss the sweet potato chunks, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl, and spread the sweet potatoes out onto a large rimmed baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until browned and tender, about 40 minutes; stir after the first 20 minutes.
  • Cook the bacon until crisp and brown in a large skillet over medium heat, about 10 minutes; transfer bacon to a bowl, but leave the grease in the skillet. Cook the onions in the bacon grease until browned, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, and cook the onions until very soft, brown, and sweet, another 10 to 15 minutes. Stir often. Mix the onions with the bacon in the bowl, and set aside.
  • Pour the maple syrup into the hot skillet with the thyme, and bring to a rolling boil. Boil the syrup until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Place the roasted sweet potatoes and onion-bacon mixture into the skillet, and stir to coat the vegetables with maple glaze. Transfer to a serving dish.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds medium sweet potatoes (about 7)
1/2 pound sliced bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 scallions, thinly sliced, reserving sliced greens separately
2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Peel sweet potatoes, then cut each lengthwise into 6 spears. Cut spears in half crosswise if desired, then arrange in 1 layer in a large (17- by 12-inch) shallow baking pan.
  • Cook bacon in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until browned and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, then pour bacon fat through a fine-mesh sieve onto potato spears and toss with 2 spatulas to coat. Sprinkle spears with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and roast (uncovered), turning every 15 to 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender and edges are browned, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer to a serving dish.
  • Return bacon to cleaned skillet, then add oil and heat over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in white part of scallions and remove from heat. Stir in vinegar, water, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper and pour over potato spears. Sprinkle potatoes with scallion greens and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sweet potatoes. Look for sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Toss the sweet potatoes in olive oil and spices. This will help them to caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes at a high temperature. This will help them to cook quickly and evenly.
  • Add the bacon during the last 15 minutes of cooking. This will help it to crisp up without overcooking.
  • Serve the sweet potatoes and bacon immediately. They are best when hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Roasted sweet potatoes and bacon is a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to add some extra vegetables to your diet and it is also a good source of fiber and vitamins. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and healthy side dish that will be a hit at your next meal.
