Bacon Wrapped Sweet Potato Bites

Original link.

My version:

  • 2 medium-small sweet potatoes
  • 1 lb uncured bacon – OPTIONAL
  • 2 Tbsp organic coconut oil
  • 1 Tbsp chipotle powder – more or less according to your wimpiness

Preheat oven to 350F. Clean the sweet potatoes, remove any uglies (I like them unpeeled) then cut them lengthwise into quarters. Then cut into bites that your 1/2 bacon slices will wrap around.

Melt coconut oil over low-heat and stir in chipotle chili powder. Toss the potatoes in the spiced, melted coconut oil to coat.

Cut the bacon slices in half. Wrap each sweet potato bite with a half slice of bacon, and use a toothpick to hold the bacon in place.

Place on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, turning once about halfway through.

These are done when the bacon is crispy and the sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Remove from heat and let cool (but  not cold) before serving.

Enjoy…
