Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 roll foil
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or set your grill to medium heat.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, then whisk in the brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until combined. Remove from heat.
Tear off large sheets of foil (one per serving or one large sheet for all) and spray lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the foil sheets.
Drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the sweet potato slices.
Wrap the sweet potatoes tightly in the foil, sealing the edges to create a packet.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet for the oven or directly on the grill grates.
Bake or grill for 35-40 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized.
Carefully open the foil packets (be cautious of hot steam) and serve warm.
