My own take on succotash — bacon, sweet potato, zucchini, and beans, roasted until it chars.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Cook the bacon in a pan at 350°F for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    While it cooks, chop, dice, and add all the other ingredients to a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Coarsely chop the cooked bacon and add it to the bowl along with the reserved bacon grease.

  4. 4

    Mix well to combine. Taste and add more seasoning as you like.

  5. 5

    Split between two large baking dishes, spread no more than 1–1.5 inches deep (or it gets mushy).

  6. 6

    Bake at 395°F about 1 hour, stirring every 30 minutes, until no longer wet and starting to char.

  7. 7

    Serve warm — it's great alongside red meat like Brooke's pot roast.

Brooke’s note

The beauty of this one is you can throw it together without much measuring — play with the quantities and find your own version.
