This recipe was inspired by this one time when I made maple cayenne roasted pecans for a dessert out of one of the Against All Grain cookbooks. The flavors were so amazing, and I thought to myself…this would be REALLY good with some sweet potatoes. And then I thought about how amazing bacon would be…and how those go really well with brussels sprouts, so why not combine them all?! This would be a great Thanksgiving side dish, or yummy with two fried eggs on top. The possibilities are endless!
