Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Brown Sugar Butter Glaze
Sweet potatoes are skinned, sliced into rounds and grilled over high heat until tender. The grilled sweet potatoes are brushed with an amazing brown sugar glaze before serving.
Ingredients
- 3 sweet potatoes skinned and cut into 1/2 inch coins
- 3/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- Olive oil for brushing on sweet potatoes
Instructions
- Melt brown sugar and butter in a microwave safe bowl for about 45 seconds, or until melted. Add cinnamon and vanilla. Set aside and be ready to use as soon as sweet potatoes are done.
- Brush some olive oil on the sweet potatoes before grilling. Grill on direct heat for five minutes on each side. Once they are grilled, set aside. While sweet potatoes are still hot, drizzle butter/brown sugar mixture over the potatoes. Serve immediately.
Notes
Grill the potatoes until they are fork tender. After the potatoes are glazed you can wrap the dish in aluminum foil to let them steam and continue to become more tender.
