Start by preparing the sweet potatoes. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Place the sliced sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to ensure all slices are well coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the sweet potato slices, then toss again to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Once the grill is hot, lay the sweet potato slices directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely charred and cooked through.
Remove the sweet potato slices from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a healthy snack. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs for extra flavor.
