    Sweet Potato Bites with Guacamole and Bacon Recipe

    Why choose between guacamole and salsa when you could have both? Roasted sweet potatoes with a light coating of spices work as the base for a pile of guacamole and salsa with just a little bacon on top – no tortilla chips necessary.

    They taste great, they’re full of nutritional standouts like avocado and sweet potatoes, and they add a cheerful burst of color to any table.

    Sweet Potato Bites with Guacamole and Bacon

    Leave the skin on the sweet potatoes for this one; it helps hold them together to make a sturdy base for the toppings. You could also do it without the bacon for a completely vegan recipe.

    You can use your favorite salsa for this; either make it yourself or get one from the store (salsa is one of those rare and precious prepared foods where you actually can find at least one Paleo-friendly brand in most grocery stores).

    If you can find a good brand of guacamole, you could also just buy that pre-prepared to save yourself some effort, but guacamole is so easy to make at home that it’s not a huge deal.
