3. Arrange sweet potato slices on the baking sheet, slightly overlapping. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle the parmesan mixture over. Roast sweet potatoes at 400ºF (200°C) for 25 minutes.
4. In the meantime, cook bacon on the stove until crispy, drain from fat, and then cut into small bits. This step is optional.
