Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice the sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large bowl, place the sweet potato slices and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss to coat each slice evenly.
Sprinkle the slices with ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss again to ensure even distribution of the spices.
Lightly oil the grates of the grill to prevent sticking.
Place the sweet potato slices directly on the grill grates. Grill them for about 5 to 6 minutes per side or until grill marks form and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
While grilling, occasionally check and rotate the slices to avoid burning.
Once done, remove the sweet potato slices from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish the grilled sweet potatoes with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately or at room temperature as a healthy side dish or snack.
