How Long To BBQ Sweet Potatoes 

According to Jamie Oliver’s recipe, you should first grill the sweet potatoes for 5 minutes on one side at 400°F. Then, flip them and grill for another 5 minutes on the other side. After that, you move them to a cooler part of the grill and brush them with BBQ sauce, covering and cooking for an additional 1 minute on each side. 

So, in total, you’re barbecuing sweet potatoes for about 12 minutes. Keep in mind that BBQ Sweet Potatoes take less time than traditional potatoes, this is because sweet potatoes have a softer texture and cook more quickly on the grill.

Is It Better To Wrap Sweet Potatoes In Foil?

No, you don’t need to wrap sweet potatoes in foil while barbecuing. You should leave them uncovered because cooking them directly on the grill gives them better texture and flavor. 

The direct heat helps to caramelize the BBQ sauce and adds a smoky touch to the sweet potatoes.
