Memorial Day Cookout: 5 Grilled Sweetpotato Recipes
For most, Memorial Day means the kickoff of grilling season. While sweetpotatoes are renowned for their long-standing appearance on holiday dinner tables, many are surprised to learn that they are actually a year-round vegetable.
With grilling season upon us, toss your taters into that open pit – trust us, they can take the heat! Sweet and creamy on the inside, charred and crunchy on the outside – what’s not to love?
Here are a few of our favorite grilled sweetpotato recipes for your Memorial Day celebrations:
