Recipe: Bacon wrapped sweet potatoes

Need something to keep people munching at a party? Here you go!

Bacon Wrapped Sweet Potatoes

1 Large sweet potato, peeled
4-6 slices bacon
olive oil
chili powder
toothpicks


Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Line a rimmed baking pan with foil and place a wire rack on top.  Cut the sweet potato into 1″ chunks.  Slice the bacon in half crosswise and then lengthwise to yield 16-24 strips, use enough bacon to have one strip per sweet potato chunk.  Wrap each sweet potato chunk with a strip of bacon and secure with a tooth pick, place on baking pan/wire rack. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chili powder. Bake for 20 minutes, remove from oven and flip over. Place back in the oven for an additional 20-25 minutes until the bacon and sweet potatoes are browned. Best served warm!
