Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 medium sweet potatoes (5 lb), left unpeeled, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces
2 navel oranges, left unpeeled, thinly sliced
2 large red onions, peeled and trimmed (leaving root ends intact) and cut into ½-inch-thick wedges
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup olive oil
1 cup golden raisins
⅓ cup honey
⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
Special Equipment
heavy-duty foil

Steps:

  • Prepare grill for cooking.
  • Toss together sweet potatoes, oranges, onions, butter, oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Put a 2-foot-long double layer of foil on a work surface. Place half of sweet potato mixture in center and sprinkle with 1/2 cup raisins. Cover with a third sheet of foil and tightly roll up all sides to seal. Wrap packet in a fourth sheet of foil to ensure insulation. Make another packet with remaining vegetables and raisins.
  • Put packets side by side directly on hot coals. Cover grill and open grill vents, then grill packets until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
  • While packets are grilling, stir together honey, lemon juice, and parsley. Remove packets from grill and carefully unwrap. Drizzle vegetables with honey mixture.
  • Cooks' Notes
  • Gas grill method: Put packets on grill rack and close lid. Roast with grill set to moderately low.
  • Oven method: Toss potatoes, oranges, onions, raisins, butter, and oil together in a large shallow roasting pan. Cover tightly with foil and roast in a preheated 450°F oven until potatoes begin to soften, about 50 minutes. Uncover and roast until vegetables are browned in spots and tender, about 25 minutes more.
