Expert Tips

For the best flavor, buy sweet potatoes that are dark orange in color. Because they don't store well, keep them in a cool, dry, dark place for up to one week. They shouldn’t be refrigerated.

For easy preparation, make these sweet potatoes in a disposable foil pan. Just cover with foil, then grill according to the recipe.

Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of beta-carotene, an antioxidant thought to reduce cancer risk.

    This was absolutely delicious! We grilled it at a medium-high heat and it turned out great! The sweet potatoes were soft and the peppers were tender. My family was a little wary of the dish when I told them what I was making, but everyone loved it and it was all eaten up :)

    This is wonderful. It works best on a grill. I tried to cook it in the oven once, but it was not the same.
