You basically start off with roasting the sweet potatoes. Try to pick even size potatoes. I know it’s hard considering sweet potatoes range in size and shape. But you want to try to stick to even size slices as they will roast more evenly.

Also, keep the skin on and slice them about 1/4-inch thick. You don’t want to go any less as they will not hold up. Then lightly brush with oil, sprinkle with salt + pepper, and roast for 15-18 minutes.

They should be soft, wrinkly, and somewhat golden brown on the bottom. ALSO – you want to roast these in the lower third of the oven. That’s where you get the most heat.

Then cool the potatoes slightly before topping with guacamole. They taste great completely cold or slightly warm.

Then prep the guacamole. This guacamole is loaded with all kinds of good stuff. Corn, beans, red onion, tomatoes, jalapeno, cilantro, cumin, lime juice, and BACON!

Bacon adds the perfect amount of smokiness to the recipe and jalapenos balance out the sweetness of the potatoes. The all together combo will leave your mouth very happy ♥♥♥
