Ingredients
1large sweet potato or 2 medium
8ouncesof 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.)
