For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of bourbon or rum to the glaze during the reduction process. If you prefer a milder spice level, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper to 1/2 teaspoon or less. This dish can be prepared ahead of time and reheated before serving. Just wait to add the bacon until right before serving to keep it crispy.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
02
StepPlace the sweet potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Add 2 tablespoons cinnamon; bring to a boil; cook 7 to 10 minutes; drain.
03
StepMix together the 1/2 cup brown sugar and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Lie the bacon slices in a baking dish. Sprinkle the brown sugar mix over the bacon.
04
StepCook the bacon in the oven until the bacon is crispy, about 10 minutes. Place the bacon on a plate lined with paper towels to drain, reserving the liquid from the dish. Change oven setting to Broil.
05
StepPour the reserved pineapple juice into a measuring cup. Fill the cup with water to measure 1 cup total. Pour the mixture into a skillet and place over medium heat. Stir in the sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Cook until the volume of the liquid has reduced to about half. Add the pineapple and drained sweet potatoes. Cook and stir until most of the liquid is absorbed. Transfer the mixture to a round 2-quart casserole dish. Crumble the drained bacon over top of the dish. Pour the reserved liquid from the bacon dish over top of the dish.
06
StepPlace the dish under the broiler until the sugar on top caramelizes, 2 to 3 minutes.

Jun 21, 2025The bacon adds such a nice touch to this dish. It's a great alternative to marshmallows.

Jun 17, 2025I found that the sweet potatoes became too soft when boiled for the entire 10 minutes. Next time, I'll reduce the boiling time to 7 minutes.
