You can use a smoker or your oven to make these simple and delicious Smoked Sweet Potatoes. With only four ingredients, it’s an easy recipe, but be sure to allow time for smoking or baking.
This recipe comes from Ana who said that the results from using the oven method were a little bit less smoky but still really really good.

Notes
Try adding different spices to the rub.
I have a hard time believing these will be done in a smoker in 50 minutes. It sounds delicious and will still try smoking them.
I don’t have a smoker, but I’m guessing it would depend on the size of the potatoes and maybe also the smoker.
These smoked sweet potatoes would be perfect for Thanksgiving dinner! I love sweet potatoes.
The recipe sounds like you bake or smoke the seasoned potatoes whole and cut them up once they are done but the picture shows browning on the cut pieces.. Do you put them back into the oven after you cut them up? For me, the brown bits are the best part of roasted sweet potatoes
