Tips for Brown Sugar Bacon Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Here a few notes based on reader questions.

Can you double the recipe?
Yes, I doubled the recipe and it turned out great. I placed the final ingredients on two baking sheets. It took 5-10 minutes longer to cook in my oven.

Can you make this recipe ahead and reheat?
Yes! These are so good piping hot fresh out of the oven. However, they are still delicious reheated. I placed my recipe in the oven for 20 minutes at 250 to reheat.

Bacon tips
The key to this recipe is the carmelization of the brown sugar with the bacon cooked on the pan. The flavor is fantastic and the recipe is intentionally simple. However, if you like extra crispy bacon, you can cook crispy bacon in a pan and toss in after the dish is ready. To be clear, this is additional bacon. That can never be wrong. This tip is for those who love that really crunchy bite.
