For even cooking, ensure the sweet potato cubes are roughly the same size. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spiciness. Feel free to add other spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or smoked paprika for a different flavor profile. If you don't have a grill, you can bake the foil pouches in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender. For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of regular butter. Serve these grilled sweet potatoes as a side dish to grilled meats, poultry, or fish. They also make a great addition to salads or grain bowls.
