Prep Time: 35 Minutes
Start to Finish: 35 Minutes

Makes 4 servings

1 large dark-orange sweet potato, peeled, thinly sliced
Dash salt
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
4 boneless smoked pork chops
2 medium peaches or nectarines, peeled, sliced
Dash ground cinnamon
4 medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)

  1. Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18 X 12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil; spray with cooking spray.
  2. Place 1/4 of the sweet potato slices on center of each sheet; sprinkle with salt. Cut butter into small pieces; sprinkle over sweet potato. Top with pork chops and peaches. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
  3. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
  4. Place packets on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 20 to 22 minutes, rotating packets 1/2 turn after 10 minutes, or until sweet potatoes and peaches are tender.
  5. To serve, cut large X across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle with onions.
