These grilled sweet potato wedges are excellent served with grilled pork or fish. They have a smoky, caramelized flavor you can’t achieve by roasting them in the oven. These are mildly spicy, but adjust the cayenne to suit your taste.
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- ¼ cup olive oil, divided
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 2
Scrub sweet potatoes thoroughly under cold running water. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges. Place wedges in a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of oil. Combine remaining olive oil, paprika, salt, garlic powder, cinnamon, and cayenne in a separate small bowl.
Step 3
Place wedges on the grill perpendicular to the grates and reduce heat to low. Grill over low heat, turning occasionally, until potatoes are soft, 16 to 18 minutes. Brush wedges with oil mixture on both sides, and grill 1 to 2 minutes more, then transfer to a plate.
Tips
Two medium-sized sweet potatoes are about 1 pound. There is no need to peel the sweet potatoes.
