- 6 ounces bacon, diced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 large apple, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large sweet potato, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, minced (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- In a medium cast iron skillet over medium to medium-low heat, cook pancetta 3-5 minutes or until crispy and fat has rendered.
- Remove pancetta with slotted spoon, leave fat in pan.
- Add onion, apples, and cinnamon. Cook until soft, about 7 minutes.
- Remove from pan and add to reserved pancetta. Set aside.
- If pan is dry add 1-2 tablespoons fat and allow to melt. Add sweet potatoes to pan and allow to cook undisturbed for 2 minutes.
- Stir, allow to cook for another 2 minutes undisturbed.
- Continue cooking sweet potatoes, stirring as needed to insure all sides get browned and none burn, until soft (about 5-6 more minutes, about 10 minutes total).
- Add reserved pancetta, onion, and apples back to pan. Add sage and stir to combine and warm throughout.
