Grilled Sweet Potatoes (Easy Slices or Wedges)
These easy grilled sweet potatoes are made with simple ingredients and cooked directly on the grill until tender with delicious charred edges. Cut them into slices or wedges and serve as an easy side dish with grilled meats, burgers, tacos, rice bowls, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato cut into ¼ - ½ inch slices or wedges
- 1 tablespoons avocado oil sub extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Optional Dipping Sauce:
Instructions
- Prep Grill: Preheat grill to a high heat of 500℉. Make sure the grill grates are clean.
- Prep Sweet Potatoes: Cut sweet potatoes into slices or wedges. For slices cut approx. 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick. For wedges they should be approx. 1/2 inch thick at their thickest point. Place the sweet potato slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoons avocado oil (just enough to lightly coat the potatoes) and then use your hands to rub the oil over all sides. Sprinkle lightly with 1 teaspoon kosher 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 OR a sharp chef's knife. 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.
- Serving: we love serving with a mustard mayo mixture: 1/4 cup mayo + 1 tablespoon yellow mustard (double the recipe as needed).
- Storage: keep leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
