Ingredients

• • 2 ⅞ large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs)
• • 12 thick-cut bacon slices
• • ⅞ cup pure maple syrup
• • 2 ⅞ tbsp olive oil
• • 1 ⅞ tsp smoked paprika
• • ⅞ tsp garlic powder
• • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel sweet potatoes and slice into 1/2-inch rounds. Toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

2. 2

   Lay a bacon slice on a flat surface. Place a sweet-potato round in the center. Fold bacon over the potato, tucking in the ends. Secure with a toothpick if needed.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, mix maple syrup with 1 tbsp of the reserved sweet-potato oil. Brush this glaze over the bacon-wrapped rounds.

4. 4

   Place wrapped rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until bacon is crispy and glaze is caramelized.
