Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 3 large sweet potatoes (washed and peeled)

Seasoning

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat and thoroughly oil the grates to prevent the sweet potatoes from sticking during cooking.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them into approximately ¼ inch thick disks for even cooking.
  3. Season the Potatoes: Toss the sweet potato slices in olive oil, then evenly sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika over them to coat all sides.
  4. Grill the Potatoes: Place the seasoned sweet potato slices on the preheated grill. Cook each side for about 6 to 8 minutes until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove the sweet potatoes from the grill and transfer them to a plate. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure to oil the grill grates thoroughly to avoid sticking.
  • You can adjust the seasoning to suit your taste preferences by adding herbs like thyme or rosemary.
  • Sweet potatoes should be uniform in thickness to ensure even grilling.
  • For a smokier flavor, add a wood chip packet to your grill.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet or oven.
