How to Cook Sweet Potatoes in Foil on the Grill
Sweet potatoes rubbed in oil and flaky salt and wrapped in aluminum foil. Tossed on a hot grill to bake until tender and fluffy. These are soft on the inside and have a salty, crispy skin. The perfect summer side dish!
Ingredients
- 4 medium Sweet potatoes, even sized scrubbed clean
- Olive oil for rubbing
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat a gas grill over medium-high heat.
- Tear off four pieces of tin foil, large enough to cover the potatoes. Place a potato in the center of the foil, drizzle heavily with olive oil and season with a heavy pinch of salt. Rub to coat the potato. Wrap the potato tightly in foil, repeat with remaining potatoes.4 medium Sweet potatoes, even sized, Olive oil, Kosher salt
- Place the wrapped potatoes on grill, close lid, and cook for 40-45 minutes* or until tender, add more time as needed. Test doneness with tongs or by giving the potatoes a squeeze.
- Serve warm topped with butter, sour cream, cheese, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
*Cooking time will depend on the size of the potato. Try to find uniform potatoes so they cook evenly. If your potatoes are not soft to the touch, add additional cooking time.
*Leftover sweet potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
