Grilling sweet potatoes brings out their natural sweetness, making them a delicious treat on the grill. This recipe is simple yet satisfies both your taste buds and your nutritional needs.
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (optional)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your grill to a medium heat (about 400°F).
- While the grill is heating, wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into half-inch thick rounds for even cooking.
- In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato rounds, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and rosemary if you’re using it. Toss everything together until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.

- Remove the sweet potatoes from the grill and let them cool for a few minutes. This allows them to firm up a bit.
