Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on for added texture and nutrients or peel if you prefer.
Slice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds or wedges for even grilling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Toss the sweet potato slices in the mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Place the sweet potato slices on the preheated grill in a single layer. Close the lid and cook for 8-10 minutes on one side.
Flip the sweet potatoes using tongs and grill for another 8-10 minutes, or until they have nice grill marks and are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
