Ingredients

For the Sweet Potato Wedges:

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 12-15 slices bacon (1 slice per wedge)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • Salt, to taste

For the Avocado Aioli:

  • 1 medium avocado, peeled, seeded, and chopped
  • ¼ cup paleo-friendly mayonnaise (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Sweet Potato Wedges:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the sweet potato wedges in a large mixing bowl.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Toss until evenly coated.

2. Wrap in Bacon:

  • Wrap each sweet potato wedge with a slice of bacon, starting at one end and overlapping slightly as you go.
  • Place the bacon-wrapped wedges seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

3. Bake:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the bacon is crisp.

4. Prepare the Avocado Aioli:

  • While the wedges bake, combine the avocado, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

5. Serve:

  • Arrange the bacon-wrapped sweet potato wedges on a serving platter. Transfer the avocado aioli to a small dipping bowl and serve alongside the wedges.

 

This dish is a perfect balance of sweet, smoky, and savory, with the creamy avocado aioli adding a refreshing contrast. It’s ideal as an appetizer, snack, or side dish for any gathering!
