Grilled Sweet Potatoes - Allergy Free CookBook

Grilled sweet potatoes was kind of an accident. After digging up the sweet potatoes one fall, there were a lot of long, thin ones that would be difficult to slice. Since it was about time to prepare food for the grill, I decided to place them in a grill packet with butter and some brown sugar. They cooked to perfection. So soft and tender I could eat them without slicing. In fact, they were more like sweet potato fries. A second batch of accidental, grillable sweet potatoes, soon appeared, as a few vines had been forgotten with roots in the ground.
