Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper


Directions

1.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ideally reaching around 400°F or 200°C to cook the sweet potatoes evenly.

2.

Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly; leave the skin on for added texture and nutrition to the wedges.

3.

Slice the sweet potatoes into thick wedges, about 1-inch wide, to ensure they cook properly on the grill.

4.

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and mix to form a seasoning paste.

5.

Toss the sweet potato wedges in the seasoning paste until they are evenly coated, ensuring all surfaces are covered.

6.

Place the seasoned sweet potato wedges on the grill grates, making sure they are arranged in a single layer.

7.

Grill the wedges for about 7-8 minutes per side or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.

8.

Remove the grilled sweet potato wedges from the heat and let them cool slightly before serving.
