Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Bacon

July 2, 2014 by Julie 43 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

After yesterday’s lunchtime fail, it was kind of nice to have a dinnertime success in the kitchen. This sweet potato side dish was inspired by the glazed carrots I made over the weekend. They were so delicious and super simple and I had a feeling I could use similar flavors with sweet potatoes to make another tasty side dish. These cinnamon roasted sweet potatoes with bacon are the perfect amount of sweet and savory.

Sweet Potatoes

Instead of cooking the potatoes the stove top, I roasted them which made things even easier. And adding crumbled bacon on top at the end was a great decision since we’re big fans of sweet and savory flavor combinations in our house. (If you’re not a bacon lover, you could easily omit this part of the recipe.)

    I love how the sweetness of sweet potato works so well with the saltiness of bacon. This looks like a fab side dish. My OH would love it. I love SP and bacon in a frittata together. http://www.theroadtolesscake.com/2014/05/sweet-potato-and-bacon-frittata.html

    I love sweet potatoes! I think they are so sweet, you don’t even need the honey! And “if you’re not a bacon lover”… then you’re crazy 😉 Everything is better with bacon!

    Yum! I’m not a huge bacon fan but I LOVE sweet potatoes. It sounds like it would taste just as good with no bacon! I may have to give it a try. 🙂

    I love sweet potatoes! I usually sauté mine with olive oil and pumpkin pie spice, but I’ve used cinnamon and nutmeg too. I have never tried it with bacon though…you’re a genius 🙂

    Roasted sweet potatoes have become a recent obsession of mine. I cube them up and season them with season-all, cumin, and chili powder. SO good! They remind me a lot of the Alexia Spicy Sweet Potato Fries.

    I made these last night and they were delicious!! I used turkey bacon and even though it wasn’t as crunchy, it was so savory. My picky boyfriend loved them. I put a little too much honey, but with a little extra bacon it balanced out.
