Variations Ideas

• Seasoning – Feel free to change the seasoning before cooking these sweet potatoes. Add in fresh herbs such as basil, rosemary, parsley, and thyme. We have even seasoned with smoked paprika, kosher salt, chili powder, and garlic powder.
• Sauces – Sweet potatoes are delicious served with your favorite sauces. Serve with BBQ, Chipotle Corn Salsa Recipe, or your favorite dipping sauce.
• Sweetness – For a hint of sweetness we like to drizzle with honey when serving. I like to squeeze lime juice or lemon juice to balance the flavors when adding any type of sweetness.

How to Grill Sweet Potatoes

• Step 1 – Preheat a gas grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F).  Rub the grill grates with oil to keep the potatoes from sticking to the grates.

Step 2 – Place the sliced sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl.  Drizzle the Olive oil on top and season them with the garlic salt and pepper.  Toss to thoroughly coat the potatoes with the oil and seasonings.

Step 3 – Reduce the grill temperature to medium.  Place the sliced seasoned sweet potatoes directly on the grill.  Cook for approximately 10 minutes per side until the potatoes are tender.

• Step 4 – Remove the grill.  Sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve warm and enjoy!

Recipe Tips

• Slicing Sweet Potatoes – We recommend slicing the sweet potatoes about the same size so they cook evenly with a sharp knife after you peel them. You can cut the sweet potatoes in sweet potato wedges or sweet potato slices.
• Prepare Grill – For best results, we recommend oiling the grill grates. This helps to prevent the sweet potatoes from sticking to the grill.
• Cooking Method – Feel free to grill these sweet potatoes on a charcoal grill or gas grill. You can also place in a grill pan if you think the sweet potatoes will fall through the grill grates.
