Grilling: Ember-Roasted Sweet Potatoes With Maple Cinnamon Butter Recipe

1. 1

   Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread coals out evenly.

2. 2

   While the fire is lighting, mix the butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt together in a small bowl until thoroughly combined. Set aside until ready to serve.

3. 3

   Wrap each of the sweet potatoes in aluminum foil. Rest the sweet potatoes on the embers, then use tongs to move any loose coals around or on top of the potatoes.

4. 4

   Roast the sweet potatoes until they are completely soft throughout, 40 minutes to an hour, turning a few times during cooking to ensure even roasting. The potatoes are done when a paring knife can be inserted in the middle with no resistance.

5. 5

   Remove the potatoes from the coals and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the foil, split in half, top with the maple-cinnamon butter and serve.
