Need I say more? I didn’t think so.
- 4 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into bite sized cubes)
- 1 lb brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)
- 4 Tbsp. butter (I like Kerrygold these days)
- 5 pieces bacon (sliced into thin strips)
- 3-4 Tbsp. real maple syrup
- salt and pepper to taste
- pinch of cayenne
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Melt butter in pan over medium heat and add bacon. Cook bacon for about 10 minutes.
3. Add sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts and saute until the brussels sprouts just start to brown (about 10 minutes).
4. Transfer veggies to a baking tray. Sprinkle with a pinch of cayenne and add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with maple syrup.
5. Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes or until vegetables are browned and starting to crisp, stirring halfway through.
So good… enjoy!

[...] off gluten right now and am all over roasted vegetables, so I was taken by the roasted parsnips and maple roasted sweet potatoes. Thank goodness for root vegetables. Mom has a tome here on roasted vegetables as [...]
I need to make this dish right after I’m home. I love sweet potato, so I think this will be perfect to my taste.
I found this recipe early this morning and since I had all the ingredients on hand, I made it for our Easter dinner today. WOW! Everyone loved it, including my extremely picky granddaughter – who ate 2 generous helpings! Thanks for sharing such a fantastic recipe – I’ll be making this quite often! YUM!
Carol, So glad you all enjoyed it!
is this talking about pre cooked bacon or raw bacon slices cut into strips n then cooked qith butter n its own natural grease?
Raw bacon!
looks delish! I have butternut squash on hand, think I’ll try it with the squash!! thanks!
I hate Brussels whole, but once you cut them up and saute them with some kind of fat, mmm….
Agreed! Don’t try to give me steamed brussels… no thanks.
