Grilled Sweetpotato Packets
Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 1/2 pounds orange- or yellow/white-fleshed sweetpotatoes, or a combination, cut lengthwise into 3/4-inch wedges
Instructions:
Heat a grill to medium-high.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the butter, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. In a large bowl, combine the sweetpotatoes and butter mixture.
Arrange two 12-by-18-inch sheets of heavy duty foil on a work surface and divide the sweetpotatoes between them. One sheet at a time, bring up the sides of the foil and seal the ends and edges, loosely encasing the sweetpotatoes and creating two approximately 7-by-9-inch packets.
Grill the sweetpotatoes until tender, 10 to 12 minutes, turning the packets over halfway through.
