The tart-sweet-savory combination of apple cider, vinegar and olive oil brings out the natural sweetness and contemporizes sweet potatoes—and we promise no one will miss the marshmallows!  The recipe is written for the grill, but it can also be roasted in a 400° F oven for the same cooking time.

Cooking Method: Indirect/Medium High Heat

6          medium-sized sweet potatoes, preferably “Garnet” variety (about 5 pounds)

½         cup apple cider

2          tablespoons Olive oil

1          tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1          tablespoon dark brown sugar

Sea Salt

Peel and cut sweet potatoes in 2-inch wedges or chunks.  Whisk the next four ingredients together and toss with sweet potatoes.  Place potatoes and liquid in a large shallow roasting pan and roast in the center of the grill or in an oven for about 45-60 minutes stirring occasionally or until browned on the edges, soft on the inside and all the liquid has evaporated.  

While still hot, season to taste with sea salt.  Serve warm.

Serves 6-8
