GRILLED SWEET POTATOES



Grilled Sweet Potatoes image

This recipe originally came from Quick Cooking. The time it takes to cook can vary a lot depending upon the heat of the fire, the size of the potato, or how you package it up. When we are in a hurry, I have even cut the potato into chunks and divided it up between four pieces of foil. It is super easy, healthy, and goes well with pork chops or Recipe#267975. When we go camping this is often on our menu. Sometimes I have put the honey on before grilling, and I think that is okay, too.

Provided by Alison Carroll

Categories     Bon Appétit     Grill/Barbecue     Sweet Potato/Yam     Side     Vegetable     Summer     Honey

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 small or 4 large Japanese sweet potatoes
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
Kosher salt
Flaky sea salt
Freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Rub sweet potatoes with 2 Tbsp. oil and wrap tightly in foil-you can wrap them on their own or put 2 in each packet. Grill, turning every 5 minutes or so, until tender, 30-45 minutes. Unwrap and let cool slightly. (Or, steam in a basket set over a pot filled with 1" of boiling water 30-35 minutes. If not using right away, let cool, then cover and chill until ready to grill-up to 2 days.)
  • Meanwhile, bring honey, vinegar, and a big pinch of kosher salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high (you can do this on the grill if you want), reduce heat, and simmer until just beginning to thicken, about 4 minutes. Keep warm.
  • Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Rub cut surfaces with 1 Tbsp. oil total; season with kosher salt. Grill, cut side down, without turning, until lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and brush with honey glaze.
  • Arrange sweet potatoes on a platter and drizzle with more glaze and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Season with sea salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Prick the potatoes with a fork before grilling to allow steam to escape and prevent them from bursting.
  • For a smoky flavor, grill the sweet potatoes over direct heat for a few minutes before moving them to indirect heat to finish cooking.
  • To prevent the sweet potatoes from sticking to the grill, grease the grates lightly with oil.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also roast the sweet potatoes in the oven at 400°F for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
  • To make the honey butter, simply combine melted butter, honey, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
  • For a sweeter glaze, add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the honey butter mixture.
  • Serve the grilled sweet potatoes with the honey butter and a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley.
