    I'm a big fan of sweet potatoes. They're nature's cookie, if you ask me. I love roasting them, but this time, my husband got to them first and put them in the smoker. And I'm not sorry he did.

    Smoked Sweet Potatoes Recipe

    This was inspired by my candied sweet potatoes recipe on this site and pairs well with this amazing smoked beef rib recipe. I wanted to get all the great flavor of sweet potatoes without all the sugar that comes with candied sweet potatoes. These smoked babies fit the bill.

    Ingredients

    It only takes a handful of simple ingredients to make these sweet potatoes, and all of them are kitchen staples.

    • Sweet potatoes
    • Olive oil
    • Ground cinnamon
    • Sugar
    • Salt
    • Ground nutmeg

    How To Smoke Sweet Potatoes

    With an ingredient list so short, you probably think this is an easy recipe. Well, you're right! It doesn't take much to make these delicious sweet potatoes.

    Step 1: Prep

    Wash your sweet potatoes and cut them lengthwise into 1 ½-inch wedges. Measure out your ingredients.

    Step 2: Coat the Potatoes

    Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and toss the potatoes to coat thoroughly.

    Step 3: Smoke

    Place the potato wedges on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in the same way you would for roasting them. Place the sheet in the smoker and smoke until the potatoes are tender when pricked with a fork.

    Hint: When smoking the potatoes don't check them until they're almost done. You don't want to let out the heat and smoke!
