Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and dry them with a clean towel.
Slice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil to coat them evenly.
Sprinkle the sweet potatoes with salt, ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder, ensuring that each piece is seasoned well.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the sweet potato rounds directly on the grill in a single layer and cook for about 8-10 minutes on the first side.
Flip the rounds and grill for another 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Remove the sweet potato rounds from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a healthy snack!
