Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
Add the sweet potato slices to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the oil and spice mixture.
Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the sweet potato slices directly on the grill grates in a single layer.
Grill the slices for about 8-10 minutes on one side, or until you see nice grill marks and the potatoes start to soften.
Carefully flip the sweet potato slices using a spatula or tongs.
Grill for another 8-10 minutes on the other side, ensuring they are tender and well-charred.
Remove the sweet potato slices from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Sprinkle the grilled sweet potato slices with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately as a delicious side dish or snack.
