MAPLE BACON ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Maple and Bacon

Salty, sweet, comforting… not sure we need to say anything else. Replace the bacon with an additional 1 tsp. oil for vegetarian/vegan option. Leftovers are great hot or cold and pair well with a fried egg and a pile of sauteed greens for an easy breakfast.
