Lightly sweet and slightly smoky, these maple-bacon roasted sweet potatoes are really a crowd pleaser! They pair nicely with just about any protein and are delicious when served over a bed of greens and topped with a poached egg.
Feel free to leave out the bacon for a vegetarian option or leave out the maple syrup for a Reboot-friendly or Whole 30-friendly side dish.

Salty, sweet, comforting... not sure we need to say anything else. Replace the bacon with an additional 1 tsp. oil for vegetarian/vegan option. Leftovers are great hot or cold and pair well with a fried egg or a pile of sauteed greens for an easy breakfast.
