Baked Bacon-Wrapped Sweet Potato Fries. Sweet potatoes cut into fries, seasoned with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika then wrapped in uncured applewood smoked bacon and baked to perfection!
Let’s face it, EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH BACON. Also, sweet potatoes are pretty fabulous too.
These sweet potato fries are SO easy to make. They make for a great side dish for any occasion. All you need to do is just cut the sweet potatoes into fries, season them, wrap them in bacon, and bake. Done and done. This is my favorite knife, btw.
I promise these baked bacon-wrapped sweet potato fries are crispy, sweet, salty, and with the chipotle sauce that I made…oh man.
