Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges: The Ultimate Amazing Recipe


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 large sweet potatoes
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon pepper
– Optional: Fresh herbs for garnish (e.g., parsley or cilantro)


Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create perfectly grilled sweet potato wedges:

1. Preheat the Grill: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
2. Wash the Sweet Potatoes: Rinse the sweet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
3. Cut into Wedges: Slice each sweet potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into wedges about 1 inch thick.
4. Make the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
5. Coat the Wedges: Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are well coated in the marinade.
6. Prepare the Grill: Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
7. Grill the Wedges: Place the sweet potato wedges on the grill, cut side down. Grill for about 10-12 minutes.
8. Flip and Continue Grilling: Turn the wedges over and grill for another 10-12 minutes or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
9. Check for Doneness: Use a fork to check if the wedges are tender inside. If they are still firm, grill for an additional 2-3 minutes.
10. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the wedges from the grill. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
