Ingredients:

  • 3 Large Sweet Potatoes (approx. 900g)
  • 3 tbsp Avocado or Grapeseed Oil (45ml)
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika (2g)
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin (1g)
  • 1 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup (15ml)

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Grill. Preheat your gas or charcoal grill to medium high heat, aiming for roughly 400°F (200°C).
  2. Scrub the 3 Large Sweet Potatoes thoroughly and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Do not peel them, as the skins add texture and hold the slices together.
  3. Create the Marinade. In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp Avocado oil, 1 tsp Smoked Paprika, 1/2 tsp Cumin, and 1 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup.
  4. Toss and Coat. Add the potato slices to the bowl and toss until every surface is glistening and orange.
  5. Layer the Foil. Lay out two large sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil. Place the potatoes in the center in a slightly overlapping single layer.
  6. Seal the Packet. Bring the long edges of the foil together and fold them down tightly, then crimp the sides. Make sure there are no gaps to prevent steam from escaping.
  7. Grill the Packet. Place the foil packet directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook for 15 minutes.
  8. The Flip. Carefully flip the entire packet over using tongs. Grill for another 10 minutes until the potatoes feel soft through the foil.
  9. Rest and Vent. Remove from heat and let the packet sit for 2 minutes. Carefully tear a small corner to let the steam escape before opening fully.
  10. Final Char (Optional). If you want more color, open the foil and place the slices directly on the grill for 1 minute per side until blistered and charred.
