Coat a large sauté pan with olive oil, add the bacon and bring to medium heat.
When the bacon starts to get crispy and brown, about 5-6 minutes, add the onion, rosemary and red pepper. Season with salt and sauté the onions until soft and aromatic, 8-10 minutes.
Add the sweet potatoes, maple syrup and chicken stock. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft but not mushy. Remove the lid and let the liquid reduce by about half.
Add the scallion whites and apples, and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the apples are soft.
Stir in the scallion greens and pepitas, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

*Put your nuts on a baking sheet and toast them in a 350°F oven. How long does it take nuts to toast? Just long enough to forget. Start with 6-7 minutes, but keep an eye on them. I’ve spent a lot of time in my career burning nuts. Once you start to smell them it’s too late – so set a timer!
