Grilled sweet potatoes are a delicious and healthy side dish that’s perfect for summer cookouts or any time you want to add some flavor to your meal.
preparation Of grilled Sweet Potato:
Ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional seasonings: garlic powder, paprika, cumin, or your favorite herbs and spices
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Slice the sweet potatoes into rounds or wedges, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. You can peel them first if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds extra nutrients and texture.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like. Make sure the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
- Place the sweet potato slices directly on the grill grates, making sure they’re not too crowded so they cook evenly. Close the lid and grill for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until they’re tender and have nice grill marks.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked through and lightly charred, remove them from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
- Serve the grilled sweet potatoes hot as a side dish alongside your favorite grilled meats or vegetables. They’re also delicious with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top.
