So, now that we’ve made our own bacon what can we do with it? Bacon is delicious by itself but it pairs so well with a ton of other ingredients. In this recipe I used bacon to combine with fried oysters, sweet potatoes, corn and spinach to make a delicious dish.

Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Drizzle sweet potatoes with olive oil and roast until tender about 15 minutes.
Add in corn, mix the corn in the olive oil and sweet potato and return to the oven until warm.In a skillet cook the bacon pieces until the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered.
Remove the bacon from the skillet and reserve it for the finished dish. Keep the bacon fat in the skillet to cook the oysters.

Smash the clove of garlic and add to the oil.
Add the spinach and cook until the spinach is wilted.
Cook the oysters last. Mix cornmeal, lemon pepper, cayenne pepper and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Dredge the drained oysters in the cornmeal mixture and fry the oysters in hot bacon fat ( you may need to add some additional oil if the bacon fat isn't enough) for 1 ½ to 2 minutes each side until golden brown .
