- 5 Medium Sweet Potatoes
- 2 Tabelspoons Butter Melted
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar

- Give everything a good stir so each piece is nicely coated in that buttery, sweet goodness.
- Lay the sweet potatoes out in an even layer on a baking sheet.
- Pop them in the oven at 400 degrees and let them roast for 20 minutes to start crisping up.
- Take the sweet potatoes out of the oven, give them a little stir, and sprinkle the chopped bacon on top.
- Put the tray back in the oven for another 10 minutes to let everything get golden and crispy.
- Serve warm and enjoy every savory, sweet bite!
Notes
Use High Heat: Roast at 400°F or higher to help the potatoes caramelize and develop a nice crispy texture.
Dry the Potatoes Well: After peeling and cutting, pat the sweet potatoes dry to remove any excess moisture—this helps them crisp up.
Flip Halfway Through: Stir or flip the potatoes about halfway through cooking to brown them evenly on all sides.
