2 tbsp butter ▢1/2 tsp salt ▢1/2 tsp cayenne pepper optional ▢1/4 tsp cinnamon ▢2 large sweet potatoes or 3 medium, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes ▢1 lb bacon strips cut into thirds ▢1/4 c brown sugar ▢maple syrup warmed
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt the butter in a large, microwave safe bowl. Mix in the salt, cayenne, and cinnamon. Add the sweet potato cubes and toss until evenly coated.
Wrap 1 piece of bacon around each potato cube and fasten with a toothpick. Place all the wrapped potatoes onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle with the brown sugar.
Alternative Tip: Place the brown sugar in a bowl and dip bacon strips on one or both sides in the brown sugar. Then, wrap the coated bacon around the sweet potato cubes.
Bake for 38-40 minutes or until the bacon is crips and the potatoes are tender. If desired, dip the cubes in warm maple syrup.
