  • Cooking Method – Feel free to grill these sweet potatoes on a charcoal grill or gas grill. You can also place in a grill pan if you think the sweet potatoes will fall through the grill grates.

    Yes, but you do not use the foil in the oven. You would need to use an oven safe dish and bake at approximately 425 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Thank you!

    Could you bake these in the oven?
