3-Step Execution Protocol
1
Preheat & Prep
Preheat grill to 400°F (204°C). Clean and oil grates. Prepare sweet potato (whole baked) (Whole medium sweet potatoes, pierced with fork, lightly oiled, double-wrapped in aluminum foil). Spray lightly with high-smoke-point oil.
2
Cook & Flip
Cook for 45–55 mins. Flip at the 25-minute mark for even browning.
3
Check & Rest

Pro Tip: Grill over indirect heat alongside the main protein; sweet potato sugars caramelize slowly into deep rich syrup inside the foil.
