Bacon-wrapped sweet potato and marshmallow

Introduction:

Bacon-wrapped sweet potatoes with marshmallows are a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors, perfect for holiday gatherings or as an appetizer at any dinner party. The natural sweetness of the roasted sweet potatoes is enhanced by the crispy, salty bacon, while the toasted marshmallow on top adds a gooey, sweet finish. This dish is not only delicious but also visually impressive, making it a standout addition to any meal.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into ½-inch thick rounds
• 8 slices of bacon (thin-cut works best)
• 12 large marshmallows (or as needed)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• Toothpicks to secure the bacon

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Slice the sweet potatoes into rounds approximately ½ inch thick.
3. Wrap the bacon: Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around each sweet potato round. Secure the bacon with a toothpick if necessary.
4. Season the sweet potatoes: Mix the brown sugar, smoked paprika, and cinnamon (if using) in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the bacon-wrapped sweet potatoes.
5. Bake: Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sweet potatoes are tender.
6. Add the marshmallows: Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and place one marshmallow on top of each round. Set the oven to broil and return the tray to the oven for 1-2 minutes, or until the marshmallows are toasted and golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
7. Serve: Allow the sweet potato stacks to cool for a minute before serving. Remove the toothpicks before serving, if used.

Conclusion:

This bacon-wrapped sweet potato and marshmallow dish is an explosion of flavors that balances sweetness with savory bacon. It’s easy to make and a great addition to any festive meal or party. The crispy bacon combined with the caramelized sweet potatoes and gooey marshmallows is sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike.
