Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on for added texture and nutrients or peel if you prefer.
Step 3
Slice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds or wedges for even grilling.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Toss the sweet potato slices in the mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Step 5
Place the sweet potato slices on the preheated grill in a single layer. Close the lid and cook for 8-10 minutes on one side.
Step 6
Flip the sweet potatoes using tongs and grill for another 8-10 minutes, or until they have nice grill marks and are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the sweet potatoes from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
