AIP Friendly Bacon-Wrapped Sweet Potato Bites
Sweet potato and crispy bacon are a match made in comfort-food heaven, and wrapping one around the other turns a humble root vegetable into a seriously craveable bite. The glaze — a quick whisk of olive oil, honey, ground ginger, and turmeric — gives each piece a warm, golden coating that caramelizes beautifully in a hot oven. Sticking to an autoimmune protocol means cutting out nightshades, grains, legumes, and most conventional seasonings, which can make party-style snacks feel nearly impossible. This recipe sidesteps all of that by leaning on AIP-friendly spices and uncured bacon with no added spices, so every ingredient earns its place. A 425°F roast does the heavy lifting, crisping the bacon at the edges while the sweet potato turns fork-tender inside. Finished with a scatter of fresh chives, they look polished enough to serve to guests but come together in under 30 minutes. This one makes four servings and disappears fast, so you may want to double it.
