Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) if using that method.
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into long wedges or thick rounds, keeping them uniform for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to form a seasoning mixture.
Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
If grilling, place the sweet potato wedges on the grates and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until crispy and charred in spots. If baking, place the wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the heat and brush them lightly with the BBQ sauce on all sides while they are still warm. Let the sauce caramelize slightly for added flavor.
Transfer the crispy barbecued sweet potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this smoky, sweet, and savory dish!
