Looking for a delicious side with an easy clean-up? Then you're going to want to make our grilled sweet potatoes in foil. When selecting sweet potatoes for our BBQ sweet potato dish, select ones that are dark in color. With only six ingredients, our sweet potato foil packets recipe is almost as easy as the clean-up! We love that the sweet potato foil packets are disposable, so you can spend more time enjoying company with family and friends and less time on clean-up duty.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    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. Sweet potatoes shouldn’t be refrigerated.
  • tip 2
    For easy preparation, make these grilled sweet potatoes in foil in a disposable foil pan. Just cover with foil, then grill according to the recipe.
  • tip 3
    Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of beta-carotene, an antioxidant thought to reduce cancer risk.
