2 sweet potatoes sliced in half and then length wise into ¼" wedges
1 lb/package bacon (personal preference don't use thick cut)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
14 cup maple syrup
1 tbsp salt (plus more for taste, if necessary)
Instructions
First preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Take your sweet potato wedges, place in a plastic bag (or bowl, but bag is the easiest and cleanest way to toss... I use leftover grocery bags). Add your olive oil, cayenne pepper and half of your salt. Toss/shake.
Next take your bacon and dip into the ¼ cup of maple syrup, using your fingers to wipe away some of the excess syrup.
Take your wedges and wrap each one with a slice of bacon. This part is up to you, the larger wedges I use full slices of bacon, for smaller wedges I cut the back in half and use half a slice per wedge. It depends on the size of your potato. Count your slices vs wedges that are cut and go from there.
Next arrange wrapped potato wedges on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining salt all over.
Place in oven for 18 minutes, flip wedges over and bake for an addition 5 - 10 minute or until bacon is crisp but not burned.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
