These stacks are such a fun and beautiful way to present sweet potatoes. The bacon and spices lend a spicy and smoky flavor that complements the sweetness of the maple syrup and potatoes perfectly.
Sweet Potato Stacks
Ingredients
- 2½ pounds small sweet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2-3 tablespoons grass-fed butter, ghee, or coconut oil, divided use (plus more for greasing the ramekins)
- 3-4 bacon slices, chopped
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them about 1/8-inch thick with a mandoline or knife.
- Toss the sweet potatoes with the chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Grease 8 (10-ounce) glass ramekins with butter and place them on a baking sheet. Layer 14 slices of sweet potato in each ramekin with about ½ teaspoon of butter in between every 4-5 slices. Top each stack with some chopped bacon.
- Roast the potato stacks for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle about ½-1 teaspoon of maple syrup over each one. Roast for another 5-10 minutes or until the stacks are slightly caramelized on top. Let cool slightly then use a fork to pop them out of the ramekins.
