Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 4 cups)
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Wash and slice the sweet potatoes into rounds around an ⅛ of inch thick. If you’re working with really large sweet potatoes, cut the rounds in half to make them easier to eat.2 medium sweet potatoes
- In a small bowl, microwave the butter to soften it up. Add the maple syrup, salt, chili powder, and pepper to the butter, mixing everything to create a sauce. Mix the sauce and the slices together.3 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp butter, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp pepper
- Layout a large sheet of heavy aluminum foil, place the potatoes in the center of the foil. Fold the edges of the foil over the potatoes like you’re wrapping a gift to create a nice package to cook everything in.
- Grill the sweet potatoes on medium heat for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them every ten minutes or so. The package should be completely sealed up to keep the moisture inside.
- The sweet potatoes will be done when they are cooked all the way through and are soft to the touch.
- To finish the potatoes, grill them on a flat grill topper on high heat for 3 to 4 minutes a side, until they’re crispy on the outside.
Notes
If you only have regular aluminum foil it can be helpful to double layer the foil packets.
