Serves

4-6

Total Time

1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients

2 medium organic sweet potatoes, any variety (about 1 1/2 pounds)

2 tablespoons Primal Kitchen Mayo, any flavor

4 tablespoons hot sauce of your choice

3 tablespoons Natural Grocers® Brand Organic Grade A Dark Maple Syrup

2 (8-ounce) packages Natural Grocers Brand Hickory-Smoked Uncured Bacon

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into bite-size pieces (1-1 ½ inches).
In a medium bowl combine the mayo, 3 tablespoons hot sauce, and 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Mix well. Add the sweet potato bites to the mayo mixture and toss to coat all pieces.
Cut the bacon slices in half crosswise. Wrap each sweet potato bite with a half slice of bacon. Use a toothpick to hold the bacon in place if desired.
Place in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Use a spoon to drizzle the remaining maple syrup and hot sauce over each piece. If you have leftover sweet potato pieces, place them in between the bacon-wrapped sweet potatoes to bake.
Place in the oven and bake for 50 minutes to one hour, or until the bacon is crispy and the sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Check after baking for 35 minutes; if the bottoms are starting to brown, turn the pieces over for even cooking. If you prefer the bacon crispy, turn on the broiler for the last 2-4 minutes of cook time. Check every minute and watch closely to avoid burning.
Remove from the heat and let cool. Add extra hot sauce if desired and serve.
