Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

8 oz smoked turkey bacon, sliced into thick strips

Vegetables

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
2 bell peppers, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 medium red onion, chopped into similar-sized pieces

Spices and Seasonings

1 tsp paprika (natural)
1/2 tsp cinnamon (natural)
1 tsp garlic powder (natural)
Pinch of salt

Other Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil (natural)
1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and cut sweet potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Slice smoked turkey bacon into thick strips. Chop bell peppers and red onion into similarly sized pieces for even cooking.
Mix the Spice Blend: In a small bowl, combine paprika, cinnamon, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt to create a flavorful seasoning.
Toss Everything Together: In a large mixing bowl, combine sweet potatoes, bell peppers, red onion, and smoked turkey bacon. Drizzle with olive oil and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle the spice blend over and toss well to coat everything evenly.
Arrange on the Sheet Pan: Spread the mixture in a single layer on a large rimmed sheet pan, ensuring not to overcrowd for optimal roasting.
Roast the Dish: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning. The sweet potatoes should be tender and caramelized, and bacon crispy and golden.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

Cut ingredients to similar sizes for even cooking.
Avoid overcrowding the sheet pan to prevent steaming and promote roasting.
Use a rimmed sheet pan to prevent spillage and make tossing easier.
Stir halfway through roasting for even caramelization.
Adjust the spice blend to your taste before roasting.
