Recipe Notes
Sweet potatoes and bacon vary in cooking times so your bacon will need to be slightly burnt at the edges to ensure the sweet potato is cooked through. However, only a little (see pictures as a guide)!
Also if you're worried about your bacon unwrapping then you can stick toothpicks to keep them in place
