Tips for Perfect Grilled Sweet Potatoes

1. Cut sweet potatoes in uniform cubes – aim for uniform 1/2-inch cubes so the sweet potatoes cook evenly.
2. Double-stack tin foil – double-stacking the tin foil will provide a solid base for the sweet potatoes.
3. Wrap sweet potatoes tightly in packets – this will insulate the sweet potatoes and help them cook quickly.
4. Grill sweet potatoes at 375F 15-20 minutes – turn the packets occasionally so each side is exposed to the heat.
5. Be careful opening foil packets – always use a tongs to open foil packets as there will be a buildup of steam inside.

Recipe Variations

Try these ideas for a different twist on these sweet potatoes.

• Use butternut squash – replace the sweet potatoes with 4 cups diced butternut squash. Be aware that cooking time may vary.
• Add heat – fold 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes or small minced jalapeno pepper into sweet potatoes.
• Add in other vegetables – try replacing one of the sweet potatoes with a diced sweet pepper or small zucchini. Be aware that cooking time may vary.
• Use another fresh herb – replace the parsley with basil, cilantro, or chives.

Oven Instructions

This recipe can easily be converted to the oven if you don’t have access to a grill!

Arrange sweet potatoes in a single layer on a large greased sheet pan. Roast at 400F 20-25 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender. Optionally, broil sweet potatoes on high 1-2 minutes to crisp up the exterior.

The flavors in these foil packets really don’t lie, friends. The sweet potatoes get every inch of them coated in that fantastic honey mustard and cook up to tender, smoky perfection.

Truth be told, I totally eat these straight out of the packets cause they’re way too good not to.
