Brush aluminum foil sheets with butter. Poke the sweet potatoes with a fork and wrap each one in aluminum foil. Bake at 200 °C for 45 minutes or until cooked. In a skillet, fry the bacon for 3 minutes and add the onion, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3 more minutes and pour in the orange juice. Cook until reduced.
