Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 seconds olive oil cooking spray
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a towel. There's no need to peel them.
Slice the sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch thick rounds or lengthwise into 1/2 inch thick slabs, depending on your preference.
Lightly coat both sides of the sweet potato slices with olive oil cooking spray to ensure they don't stick to the grill.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and smoked paprika.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the sweet potato slices.
Place the sweet potato slices directly on the grill grates.
Grill the sweet potatoes for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until they develop grill marks and are tender when pierced with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the sweet potatoes from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the fresh lime juice over the grilled sweet potatoes.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a healthy snack.
