Bacon-wrapped sweet potatoes

This Thanksgiving, we hosted some family. In looking for a new appetizer, I decided to give these bacon-wrapped sweet potatoes a try. Anything tastes delicious wrapped in bacon, and I thought it would be a good use of sweet potatoes. I was not wrong; these sweet potatoes were delicious.

When making this recipe, I found that it was best to turn them at least once during the baking process so that the bacon becomes crisp on more than one side. I also recommend waiting to insert the toothpicks until the sweet potatoes have softened up after a few minutes of baking.

Bacon-Wrapped Sweet Potatoes

  • 2-3 sweet potatoes
  • 4 Tbsp. butter, melted
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 pound bacon strips, cut in half
Cut the sweet potatoes into one-inch cubes. Blend the cinnamon into the melted butter. Toss sweet potato cubes in the melted butter. Wrap each sweet potato cube with bacon and place on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes, or until done, turning the potatoes at least once. Place toothpicks in each for an easy appetizer. Enjoy!
