Baked Sweet Potatoes and Grains of Paradise

Baked Sweet potatoes on egg at about 350 degrees until easy to pierce with a knife. Melted about 1/2 stick butter in coffee cup in microwave. When almost melted I added about 1 TBS. Brown Sugar, 1/4 tsp cinnamon and about 1/2 tsp. of crushed Grains of Paradise . These measures are estimates as I seldom measure unless I follow a recipe. Mix well with a wisk, and put in microwave for 15-20 seconds. Cut sweet potatoes in half and drizzle with the mixture. It was excellent and my wife enjoyed the bursts of flavor as well. I hope others find this delightfuul to.[p]Grillin Bill

    Grillin Bill,
    How would that mix do in the BGE with foil wrapped? I use about the same thing, just butter the "peeled" sweet tater, coat with brown sugar, and wrap loosely in foil. [p]About 40 minutes to 1 hour in the BGE along with your meats at around 350F. (use a barrier) Then I take em out and pour a dab of softened marshmellow creme on top. I will add your mix next time. Gotta get the famous GOP first.
    Cheers..C~W..

    Grillin Bill,
    Sweet taters with just butter and brown sugar are so good they must be even better with the cinnamon and GOP.

  • Char-Woody,
    Wrapped in foil would be great to. The potatoes I had were very moist but foil would help insure moistness. I think you will be surprised with the GOP. But IMHO GOP will never take the place of Black Pepper. There is a burst of flavor when tasted by itself that grows slowly and disapates.[p]Grillin Bill

  • JimW,
