Preparation – 10 minutes

Preheat the barbecue and wait for the coals to glow.

Wash the sweet potatoes under running cold water. There is no need to pat them dry. Wrap them individually in aluminium foil and make sure they are completely enclosed.

Place the wrapped potatoes directly in the hot coals; they taste best when the skin has darkened a bit.

The exact cooking time depends on the size of the potatoes. Serve the sweet potatoes with a little salt and pepper. They're delicious with remoulade sauce or tzatziki, enjoy!
