Ingredients:
- 4 pounds - sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 tablespoons - olive oil
- 1 teaspoons - salt
- 1/2 teaspoons - ground black pepper
- 5 strips - smoked bacon, chopped
- 1 pounds - onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cups - pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons - fresh thyme
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Toss sweet potato chunks, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; spread onto a large rimmed baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven until browned and tender, about 40 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time.
Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp and brown, about 10 minutes; transfer bacon to a bowl, leaving drippings in the skillet. Add onions to the skillet; cook and stir until browned, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Continue cooking and stirring until onions are very soft, brown, and sweet, 10 to 15 minutes more; transfer to bowl with bacon. Set aside.
Pour maple syrup and thyme into the hot skillet; bring to a rolling boil. Boil until reduced by half, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and bacon mixture to the skillet; stir to coat with maple glaze. Transfer to a serving dish.
