Sweet Potato Burnt Ends: A Meatless Take on a BBQ Favorite
When you’re craving that sticky, smoky, caramelized goodness of pork belly burnt ends—but want something meatless—this recipe delivers big-time flavor with none of the meat. These Sweet Potato Burnt Ends are smoky, sweet, and tender with a barbecue bark that rivals the real deal. Inspired by the classic burnt ends of Kansas City fame, we swapped out pork for sweet potatoes, hit them with mustard and our Kansas City BBQ Rub, and let the smoker do the rest. Whether you’re grilling for a crowd or just want a hearty plant-based side, this dish is one to keep in your BBQ rotation.
