Sheet-Pan Sweet Potatoes, Bacon & Chicken Thighs

The best thing about a sheet-pan dinner is easy clean up.  I simply line a sheet pan with foil and it's a one pan wonder.  Clean-up is a breeze.  This recipe is hands down my favorite sheet pan meal.  

3 - 4 sweet potatoes, cubed
4 skin-on chicken thighs
6 bacon slices, chopped
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Smoked paprika
3 garlic cloves, minced
Parsley, for garnish

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

Line a sheet pan with foil

Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic.  Spread them out - they need space to caramelize.

Nestle the chicken thighs among the potatoes.  Drizzle with a little olive oil, salt and pepper.  

Scatter bacon over everything.

Roast 30 - 35 minutes, flipping the sweet potatoes once.  

If the chicken isn't browned enough, pop under the broiler for 2 - 3 minutes at the end.  

Drizzle a little maple syrup or honey over the sweet potatoes

Enjoy!
