Description

Our easy Smoked Sweet Potatoes have a delicious smokey flavor, plus a homemade cinnamon sugar butter for serving!


Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes:

  • 3 sweet potatoes, halved
  • 12 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt and ground black pepper

Cinnamon Sugar Butter:

  • 68 tablespoons butter, softened (regular or plant-based)
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • pinch of allspice
  • pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat the smoker to 225 degrees F. 
  2. Season Potatoes: Place the sweet potatoes, cut-side down, on the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Massage oil around the potatoes.
  3. Smoke Potatoes: Place the whole pan on the smoker and let smoke for about 1.5-2 hours or until their internal temperature reaches 205 degrees F (use a meat thermometer). Cook time will depend on the size of the potatoes.
  4. Butter Mixture: While the potatoes are on the smoker, combine the butter mixture in a small bowl. Set aside.
  5. Serve: Enjoy potatoes, cut-side up, with some cinnamon sugar butter on top!

Notes

  • Dairy-Free: use a plant-based butter.
  • Instant Pot: highly recommend using an electric smoker for that added flavor, but you could also make Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes.
