Bacon And Brown Sugar Topped Sweet Potato Bake Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Bake sweet potatoes for approximately one hour in a 350 degree oven. Let cool until you can touch them and peel sweet potatoes.
• 2. Preheat oven to 350. Grease a casserole dish with cooking spray.
• 3. In a large bowl, mash sweet potatoes. With electric mixer, beat in all ingredients EXCEPT bacon and brown sugar. Beat until well blended and spread evenly into casserole dish.
• 4. Fry bacon until crisp.
• 5. Crumble bacon and combine with brown sugar. I like to process mixture in food processor.
• 6. Sprinkle evenly on top of sweet potato mixture.
• 7. Bake for 30-35 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the sweet potatoes: Line a baking sheet with foil. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with foil.
• Prick the sweet potatoes all over, put them on the prepared baking sheet and roast until soft, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Put the butter and rosemary in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until the butter starts to brown. Remove from the heat and discard the rosemary. Scoop the sweet potato flesh out of the skins and into a food processor. Add the butter, heavy cream, sugar, cinnamon, egg, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and process until smooth.
• Spread the sweet potato mixture in the prepared 8-inch baking dish.
• For the crumble: Put the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat and cook until crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon, reserving the fat. Whisk together the flour, pecans, sugar and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Using your fingers, rub the butter and 2 tablespoons bacon fat into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Add the bacon and toss to combine. Sprinkle the crumble over the sweet potato mixture.
• Bake until lightly browned and hot throughout, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking liner or foil sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
• Cut sweet potatoes and bacon into bite-sized pieces.
• Combine cubed sweet potatoes, cut uncooked bacon, honey, brown sugar, and olive oil in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
• Transfer to prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender and bacon is crispy.
• Use a slotted spoon to scoop potatoes and bacon from the pan and into a serving bowl as there will be liquid from the bacon and brown sugar.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Toss the sweet potato chunks, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl, and spread the sweet potatoes out onto a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until browned and tender, about 40 minutes; stir after the first 20 minutes.
• Cook the bacon until crisp and brown in a large skillet over medium heat, about 10 minutes; transfer bacon to a bowl, but leave the grease in the skillet. Cook the onions in the bacon grease until browned, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, and cook the onions until very soft, brown, and sweet, another 10 to 15 minutes. Stir often. Mix the onions with the bacon in the bowl, and set aside.
• Pour the maple syrup into the hot skillet with the thyme, and bring to a rolling boil. Boil the syrup until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Place the roasted sweet potatoes and onion-bacon mixture into the skillet, and stir to coat the vegetables with maple glaze. Transfer to a serving dish.
