Ingredients for Hasselback Sweet Potatoes:
- Whole Sweet Potatoes
- Butter
- Brown Sugar
- Kosher Salt
How to Grill Hasselback Sweet Potatoes:
- Scrub sweet potatoes and dry well.
Place two chop sticks or skewers on a cutting board and place the sweet potato between them. They will be a guide to keep you from cutting all the way through the potato so that the slices will stay together to create the hasselback sweet potato.
- Use a sharp knife, cutting into 1/8 inch slices, not cutting all the way through the bottom, so that the sweet potato remains in one piece and the slices fan out.
- Create a shallow foil pan with a rim for the sweet potatoes.
- Grill over indirect heat at about 350° with the grill closed. Add pecan chunks for smoke flavor.
- Cook sweet potatoes about 1 hour to one hour 15 minutes, depending on the size.
- Melt the butter and mix brown sugar with kosher salt.
- Spoon melted butter over sweet potatoes, getting it down between the slices.
- Sprinkle brown sugar and salt over each sweet potato.
Continue to cook another 10- 15 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork or sharp knife. Spoon butter and brown sugar mixture from the tray over the sweet potatoes as they cook.
- Remove from grill and place on a serving tray.
- Pour remaining butter mixture over the sweet potatoes if desired and serve immediately.
How to Store and Reheat:
Store in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
To reheat, slice sweet potatoes and place in a skillet coated with butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring until heated through.
These Hasselback Sweet Potatoes are a great addition to Thanksgiving Grilled Turkey dinner or try them alongside these Garlic and Onion Pork Chops.
