Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp. canola oil, divided
  • 6 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 6 wedges each
  • 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided

  • 2 tbsp. sliced fresh garlic
  • 3 tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425. Drizzle a large rimmed baking sheet with 2 tbsp. oil. Place pan in oven until very hot, about 6 minutes.

  2. In a large bowl, toss together sweet potato wedges, smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and remaining 2 tbsp. oil. Place wedges on hot pan.

  4. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon using a slotted spoon, and let drain on paper towels. Add garlic to pan; cook until lightly browned. Stir in vinegar. Pour garlic mixture over sweet potato wedges. Sprinkle with parsley, chives, bacon, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, and remaining 1/4 tsp pepper.
