Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large skillet, cook the chicken bacon over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned (approximately 5 minutes). Drain on paper towels, then crumble once cooled.

02

Step
5 mins

While the bacon cooks, microwave the cubed sweet potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl on high power for 5 minutes to soften them slightly.

03

Step
7 mins

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Introduce the sweet potatoes, garlic powder, chipotle powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the potatoes are nicely browned and crisp, stirring occasionally (about 5-7 minutes).

04

Step
3 mins

Add the crumbled bacon, chopped jalapeno, and BBQ sauce to the skillet. Reduce heat to low and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts for texture.
Adjust the amount of jalapeno to control the spice level. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes before chopping.
Feel free to experiment with different BBQ sauces to customize the flavor profile. A smoky or tangy BBQ sauce works particularly well.
Ensure sweet potatoes are uniformly cubed for even cooking.
