Sweet Potato Fries Wrapped in Bacon
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato or 2 medium
- 8 ounces of bacon,, not thick cut
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cut each piece of bacon in half lengthwise and then in half widthwise so you can wrap 4 sweet potato sticks with what was 1 piece of bacon.
- Peel sweet potatoes and cut into thin strips, no bigger than the width of your pinkie finger.
- Starting at one end of sweet potato stick wrap bacon around, stretching bacon a little if needed to make it to the other end.
- Place on baking sweets, leaving some space in between fries.
- Bake for approximately 15 minutes. Sweet potatoes should be soft at this point. If not cook longer.
- Turn oven to broil just for a very short time to help bacon crisp up some, but careful not to burn. (Obviously if you have 2 baking sheets in the oven, you will have to get the top baking sheet crisp, remove it from oven and place bottom sheet under the broiler.)
