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 oil the grates thoroughly to prevent sticking and to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash, peel, and slice the sweet potatoes into approximately ¼-inch thick disks for consistent grilling and tenderness.
  3. Season the Potatoes: Toss the sweet potato slices in olive oil, then evenly sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika over them, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  4. Grill the Sweet Potatoes: Place the seasoned sweet potato disks on the hot grill grates. Cook each side for about 6 to 8 minutes until tender and slightly charred, flipping carefully to avoid breaking the slices.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove the grilled sweet potatoes from the grill, transfer them to a serving plate, and enjoy while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Cut sweet potatoes uniformly for even cooking.
  • You can adjust spices to taste, adding chili powder for heat or cinnamon for sweetness.
  • Use a grill basket if worried about the slices falling through grates.
  • These grilled sweet potatoes pair beautifully with grilled meats, salads, or as a vegetarian main.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat on the grill or in the oven.
