I love this. We make them every time we grill now to replace french fries. We're still tweaking how we do it, so I might adjust this post with time.
Grilled Sweet Potatoesby Brooke Cheesman Hochstein
- 2 Sweet Potatoes
- Olive oil
- Seasoning to taste (eg. Rosmary and Basil)
Scrub the sweet potatoes clean, but do not peel. Slice potato into 1/4" slices. I try to angle my cuts to make them a little longer and more oval-shaped. I'm sure there is a term for that which I do not know. In a small bowl, mix the oil and seasonings in a small bowl, and then brush the mixture on each side of the potato. Place the potato slices on a medium-hot grill. Cook for 5 minutes on each side (This time will vary depending on the thickness of the potato slice and the temperature of the grill). Only flip once if you want clean grill marks.
Notes: I've been playing with different spice combos. Sometimes I use different peppers to give it a kick, sometimes I use more subtle spices to just enjoy the potato. I'm no pro on spices so it's more of an educational experiment each time I make these.
