Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 8 oz smoked turkey bacon, sliced

Vegetables

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium red onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Seasonings & Oils

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (natural)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (natural)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh cracked black pepper (natural), to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes for consistent roasting. Slice the smoked turkey bacon and chop the red bell pepper and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and set all ingredients aside.
  2. Season the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil (natural) and sprinkle smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper (natural). Toss well to ensure each piece is coated with the beautiful blend of flavors and oils.
  3. Arrange on the Sheet Pan: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on your sheet pan, leaving some space to add the smoked turkey bacon slices on top. Make sure everything is in a single layer to maximize roasting and caramelization.
  4. Roast Until Tender and Crispy: Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for approximately 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, gently toss the vegetables and flip the bacon slices for even cooking. The sweet potatoes should be tender when pierced with a fork, and the bacon should look crispy and golden.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. The combination of smoky meat, sweet tender potatoes, and savory roasted veggies is irresistible and satisfying as is, or with your favorite sauce or side.

Notes

  • Cut all vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming and promote roasting.
  • Use parchment paper on the sheet pan for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste before roasting if you prefer more herbs or spices.
  • Let the dish rest a few minutes after roasting to enhance flavors and texture.
