A quick and simple way to make Grilled Sweet Potatoes for a delicious side dish that is the perfect addition to any meal!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large sweet potato, cut into 1/4–1/2 inch slices or wedges
- 1–2 tablespoons avocado oil (sub extra virgin olive oil)
- kosher salt
- optional dipping sauce: mustard mayo
Instructions
- Prep Grill: Preheat grill to a high heat of 500 degrees F. Make sure the grill grates are clean.
- Prep Sweet Potatoes: Place the sweet potato slices in a large bowl. Drizzle some oil over top (just enough to lightly coat the potatoes) and then use your hands to rub the oil over all sides. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Grill Sweet Potatoes: Place sweet potatoes on the hot grill over direct heat and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side for slices and 3-6 minutes per side for wedges or until nicely charred.
- Serve: Remove and serve immediately with your favorite sauce for dipping – we love our mustard mayo!
Notes
- How to Cut: for slices I would recommend using a mandolin. For wedges use a sharp chef’s knife.
- Yams or Sweet Potatoes: you can use either yams or sweet potatoes in this recipe.
- Any prepping needed for sweet potatoes? Just slice, oil, and season with kosher salt. Sweet potatoes do not need to be peeled or boiled before cooking on the grill.
- Storage: keep leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
