Can I make these Sweet Potato Bites ahead of time?

Yes! You can roast the sweet potatoes and prepare the avocado topping in advance. Store the roasted sweet potato rounds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Similarly, the avocado topping can be stored in a separate container, but be sure to cover it tightly to prevent browning. When you're ready to serve, just assemble the bites and enjoy!

Can I substitute the bacon with something else?

Absolutely! If you're looking for a vegetarian or vegan option, try using crispy roasted chickpeas, tofu, or even a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor. You could also opt for turkey bacon for a lighter alternative.

How do I store leftovers?

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place the sweet potato bites in a warm oven for a few minutes to bring back their crispiness, or microwave them if you're short on time.

Can I freeze the sweet potato rounds?

Yes, you can freeze the roasted sweet potato rounds! After they have cooled, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag. To reheat, bake at 375°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange bacon slices on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until crispy. Set aside and chop into small pieces.
Increase oven temperature to 425°F. Slice sweet potatoes into ¼ to ½ inch rounds. Arrange on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
