Bake the bacon and sweet potatoes
RoastOn another sheet pan, lay out the slices of bacon. Place both the sweet potato and bacon in the oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the bacon is crispy. The bacon will be done first, so remove it when done and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Stir the sweet potato and continue cooking for another 15 minutes.
