Sweet Potato Bacon Bites

Yield: 2 dozen

Healthy, delicious snack or appetizer

Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

• 8 slices bacon

• 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut crosswise into (1/2-inch) thick rounds

• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided

• Olive spray oil

• 1/2 cup sour cream or crème fraîche

• Zest of 1 Satsuma tangerine, clementine or small orange

• 2 green onions, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2. Bake bacon on a foil-lined baking sheet until almost crisp, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to let drain, and then finely chop.

3. In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes with flour and 3/4 of the teaspoon salt.

4. Spray a large baking sheet with oil and then arrange sweet potatoes in a single layer.

5. Spray tops with oil and bake on the bottom third of the oven, flipping once, until golden brown and tender, 20 to 25 minutes; set aside to let cool until warm.

6. In a small bowl, stir together sour cream, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and zest.

7. To serve, top each round of sweet potato with a dollop of sour cream, bacon and green onions.
