Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
Seasoning & Oil
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp crushed rosemary
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the grill. Turn on your grill to medium heat to allow it to warm up while you prepare the sweet potatoes.
- Prepare the sweet potatoes. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut each in half lengthwise followed by slicing into evenly sized pieces to ensure consistent cooking.
- Arrange on foil. Divide the sweet potato slices evenly onto two large pieces of aluminum foil to prepare for seasoning and grilling.
- Season the sweet potatoes. Drizzle the olive oil over the slices, then sprinkle crushed rosemary, onion powder, salt, and black pepper on top. Mix gently with your hands or a spoon directly on the foil to evenly coat the potatoes with the seasonings.
- Wrap securely. Fold and wrap the potatoes tightly with two layers of aluminum foil each, roughly 12x15 inches in size, to seal in moisture and flavor during grilling.
- Grill the sweet potatoes. Place the foil packets on the grill and cook for 30 minutes, flipping the packets over halfway through to ensure even cooking on both sides.
- Rest and serve. Remove the foil packets from the grill and let them sit for 5 minutes to allow the steam to finish cooking the potatoes. Carefully open the foil and serve hot.
Notes
- For best flavor, use medium-sized sweet potatoes so they cook evenly.
- Be careful when opening the foil packets as hot steam will escape.
- Customize spices by adding paprika or cayenne for a bit of heat.
- Can be prepared ahead and reheated on the grill or in an oven.
- This recipe pairs well with grilled meats or a fresh summer salad.
