Grilled Sweet Potato Packets

3 Tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/4 Teaspoons salt
1/2 Teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
1/4 Teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 Teaspoon onion powder
1 1/2 Pounds orange- or yellow/white-fleshed sweet potatoes, or a combination, cut lengthwise into 3/4-inch wedges

Grilled Sweet Potato Packets Directions

Heat a grill to medium-high.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the butter, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. In a large bowl, combine the sweetpotatoes and butter mixture.
Arrange two 12-by-18-inch sheets of heavy duty foil on a work surface and divide the sweetpotatoes between them. One sheet at a time, bring up the sides of the foil and seal the ends and edges, loosely encasing the sweetpotatoes and creating two approximately 7-by-9-inch packets.
Grill the sweetpotatoes until tender, 10 to 12 minutes, turning the packets over halfway through.
