MAPLE GLAZED SWEET POTATOES WITH BACON AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Maple Glazed Sweet Potatoes with Bacon and Caramelized Onions image

I made this for Thanksgiving dinner and my family went crazy over it. It is simple, looks great on the table and has already been requested for Christmas dinner! This recipe can be adjusted as you like by adding more or less bacon and onions.

Time 1h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in 1-inch chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
5 slices smoked bacon, chopped
1 pound onions, thinly sliced
1 cup pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons fresh thyme

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.

The end result is a dish that combines the best flavors of fall in every bite.

MAPLE-GLAZED SWEET POTATO WEDGES WITH BACON



Maple-Glazed Sweet Potato Wedges With Bacon image

To make maple-glazed sweet potatoes irresistible, you may want to look to bacon, another of maple syrup's best friends, for a salty, smoky boost. The bacon fries in the oven while the sweet potato cooks, leaving the stove open (grits? oatmeal? fried eggs?) and avoiding the messy sputtering of bacon cooking in a skillet.

Categories     dinner, weekday, vegetables, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 4 medium potatoes), scrubbed and dried
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon maple syrup
8 ounces thick-cut bacon
Flaky salt, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 3 or 4 wedges, 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick.
  • In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with the oil and salt. Spread onto the baking sheet in a single layer, leaving a little space between the pieces. (Use two baking sheets if you need to).
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then drizzle with the maple syrup, toss, and return to the oven for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the wedges are deeply brown on both sides.
  • Once you've tossed the potatoes, place the bacon on an unlined sheet pan. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until crisp and cooked through. Place on a paper towel to drain (pour fat from the sheet pan into a jar and store in your refrigerator to use later, or discard), then chop into 1/2-inch pieces and toss with sweet potato wedges and the remaining teaspoon maple syrup. Garnish with flaky salt and serve immediately.

TWICE BAKED MAPLE BACON SWEET POTATOES



Twice Baked Maple Bacon Sweet Potatoes image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium sweet potatoes of similar shape
4 strips bacon
3 scallions, chopped, 2 tablespoons reserved for garnish
2 tablespoons maple syrup
4 ounces smoked Cheddar, shredded (about 1 1/4 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sour cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the sweet potatoes on a foil-lined baking pan. Bake until a paring knife inserted in the center pierces easily, about 1 hour. Cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until crisp and brown, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat. Crumble bacon.
  • Halve the sweet potatoes lengthwise. Carefully scoop most of the flesh out into a bowl, leaving enough flesh in the skin so that it holds its shape. Add the bacon, bacon fat, scallions, maple syrup and 1 cup of the cheese to the sweet potato flesh. Stir together and season with salt and pepper to taste. Refill the sweet potato shells and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  • Place the sweet potatoes back in the oven until heated through and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Top with the reserved scallions and dollops of sour cream.

MAPLE SWEET POTATOES WITH APPLE AND BACON



Maple Sweet Potatoes With Apple and Bacon image

This was in an email from Trader Joe's for the holidays. (Best little store ever!) I made it today for Thanksgiving and it's delicious! Putting on here to share and for safe keeping. One note: My sweet potatoes took quite a bit longer to roast and be tender so just check them and cook until they are done. I might have used too small a pan because I had to stir them and keep cooking past the time.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces bacon, large diced
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 gala apples, diced
1/4 cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Toss potatoes with oil and salt. Roast at 400' about 20 minutes or until tender.
  • Cook bacon over medium heat in a large pot. Add onions once fat starts to render. Cook until bacon is crisp and onions are translucent.
  • Add apples to pot and cook 2 more minutes (I cooked longer to caramelize the apples a bit).
  • Add potatoes and cook approximately 5 minutes, or until soft (Again, I cooked longer to get a bit of caramelizing on the potatoes).
  • Toss with maple syrup and serve.
  • Note: I roasted the potatoes the night before and just put them in the fridge so I wouldn't tie up the oven for Thanksgiving dinner.
