I could never tire of sweet potatoes! They are so delicious and are quite the superfood, so I’m always on the look out for a new way to eat them. Plus, bacon!? Ok, yep, I’m sold!! Below is a recipe from Juli at PaleOMG for her Bacon Lime Sweet Potato Salad. Sounds pretty perfect for summer, or any season, really! Hope you enjoy!!
Bacon Lime Sweet Potato Salad
Ingredients
- ½ pound bacon
- 3 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds), cut into ½-inch cubes
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 green onions, chopped
- handful of fresh dill, roughly chopped
- dash of red pepper flakes
- dash of ground cinnamon
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Cook bacon as preferred (I prefer the microwave!), let cool, then roughly chop.
- Toss the sweet potatoes and garlic in coconut oil, place on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper and roast for about 30 minutes or until slightly browned in a preheated oven set to 375 degrees F.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Toss in green onions, dill, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and salt and pepper and mix well.
- Once sweet potatoes are finished cooking, toss them together with the dressing and bacon and serve.
