Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
Instructions
Start by washing and scrubbing the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice each sweet potato into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Try to keep the thickness consistent to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh rosemary, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and salt.
Add the sweet potato slices to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice and oil mixture.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (204°C). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Place the sweet potato rounds directly on the grill grates. Grill them for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have achieved prominent grill marks.
Once cooked, remove the sweet potato slices from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the grilled sweet potatoes with lemon juice and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for added freshness and flavor.
Serve the heart-healthy grilled sweet potatoes warm as a side dish or nutritious snack.
