Test Kitchen Tip
You can reheat the sweet potatoes in a microwave instead of on the grill.
Instructions
Microwave sweet potatoes 5 minutes, rotate, and microwave until fork-tender, about 5 minutes more. When cool enough to handle, slice in half horizontally, scoop flesh into a bowl, and mash.
Preheat grill to medium high. Brush grill grate with oil.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in coconut milk and brown sugar; cook until sugar dissolves, 2–3minutes. Stir mixture into mashed sweet potatoes; add salt and nutmeg. Spoon mixture into shells. Grill, covered, to heat through, 3 minutes. Garnish sweet potatoes with toasted coconut.
To give the sweet potatoes coconut flavor and sweetness, add coconut milk and brown sugar.
Spoon sweet potato flesh mixture into the shells. At this point you can chill them until you’re ready to grill.
