Main Ingredients

Equipment

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Begin by washing the sweet potatoes thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

  2. 2

    Season the Sweet Potatoes

    Using a fork, poke several holes around each sweet potato. This allows steam to escape while cooking. Rub the sweet potatoes with coarse sea salt, ensuring an even coating. If desired, sprinkle fresh rosemary on top for added flavor.

Roasting

  1. 3

    Wrap the Sweet Potatoes

    Take each seasoned sweet potato and wrap it individually in aluminum foil, making sure they are tightly sealed to retain moisture during the roasting process.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Fire Pit or Grill

    Start your fire pit or grill and allow it to create a bed of hot embers. Ensure the fire has been burning for at least 30 minutes to reach the desired temperature for roasting.

  3. 5

    Roast the Sweet Potatoes

    Once the embers are ready, place the wrapped sweet potatoes directly onto the hot embers. Cover them with additional ashes if desired for even cooking. Let them roast for approximately 10 hours, turning them occasionally with tongs to ensure even cooking.

Serving

  1. 6

    Unwrap and Serve

    After 10 hours of roasting, carefully remove the sweet potatoes from the embers using tongs. Unwrap the foil and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them as is or with your favorite toppings!
