Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Set aside.
- Wrap each sweet potato cube with a bacon slice, holding in place with a toothpick. Place on the prepared baking sheet, toothpicks facing up.
- Combine the olive oil, melted butter, cinnamon and pepper, stirring until well mixed. Drizzle the mixture over the sweet potato bites. Sprinkle with sea salt. Loosely tent the toothpicks with damp paper towels and wrap the baking sheet with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil, being careful not to pierce the foil. Bake until the potatoes are just tender, about 20 minutes.

Tips:
- For perfectly crispy bacon, start with thick-cut slices and cook them in a single layer in a preheated skillet over medium-high heat. Flip the bacon halfway through cooking to ensure even crispness.
- To save time, you can cook the bacon in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Place the bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy. Drain the bacon on paper towels before using.
- If you don't have brown sugar on hand, you can substitute granulated sugar or maple syrup.
- For a vegetarian version of this dish, omit the bacon and use crumbled tempeh or tofu instead.
- To add a pop of color and flavor, top the sweet potato jackets with chopped green onions, cilantro, or avocado slices before serving.
Conclusion:
Sticky Bacon Sweet Potato Jackets are a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With their sweet and savory flavors, these sweet potato jackets are sure to be a hit with the whole family.
