Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly grease a large sheet pan and toss sweet potatoes, thyme, and olive oil on sheet pan until evenly coated. Arrange in a single layer and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Roast sweet potatoes at 400F 20-25 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender.
Massage kale well with your fingers until tender. Place in a large serving bowl and toss with warm roasted sweet potatoes. Set aside for a moment.

Place bacon in a medium skillet and set over medium heat. Stir bacon occasionally until fat is rendered and bacon is crispy. Drain bacon bits on paper towels.
Keep heat on medium and add shallot to bacon drippings. Stir over medium heat 2-3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 1 additional minute until fragrant.
Add mustard, honey, and vinegar to pan and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently and cooking until dressing is smooth and slightly reduced, about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle bacon over sweet potato and kale in serving bowl. Drizzle with warm bacon dressing and toss well before serving. Serve salad immediately while warm. Enjoy!
