Nestled in a foil packet on the cool side of the grill, these BBQ sweet potatoes cook low and slow, developing smoky richness while leaving the hot side free for other fare. Gussy them up with a garnish of cilantro and queso fresco or crushed corn chips and sour cream.
Note: If you’re using a charcoal grill, bank the coals on one side of the grill and place the packet of vegetables on the other.
Ingredients
2 whole sweet potatoes, skin on, quartered lengthwise
¾ cup diced shallots (2–3 shallots)
1 can (15.5 ounces) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
In a large bowl combine the potatoes, shallots, beans, Texas BBQ, salt, and oil and toss to coat.
Lay two large sheets of heavy-duty foil on top of each other on a baking sheet.
Use tongs to place the potatoes skin-side-down on the foil. Dump the remaining ingredients over the potatoes.
Lay another sheet of foil over the mixture. Lift the long sides of the foil layers up to meet in the center and fold them together tightly. Fold each of the short ends several times to create a well-sealed packet.
Light the burner on one side of your grill and close the lid. When the grill temperature reaches 400° F, place the foil packet on the cooler, unlit side of the grill and close the lid. Cook for 1.5 hours.
Remove the packet from the grill and set it aside on a plate to cool slightly, about 5 minutes, then open the foil and serve.
Recipe Note
If you don't have a grill or if you do, but the weather isn't cooperating, these can be oven-baked at 400° F. Just set the foil packet on a rimmed sheet pan to catch any spills.
