  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2″ thick slices
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for cooking your sweet potatoes evenly.
  2. Prepare the seasoning: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and rubbed sage. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Season the sweet potatoes: Add the sweet potato slices to the bowl and toss to evenly coat them with the oil and seasonings.
  4. Arrange on baking sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place the sweet potato slices on it skin side down. This helps ensure even cooking when transferred to the grill.
  5. Initial grilling: Place the baking sheet with sweet potatoes on the grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, allowing the sweet potatoes to soften and develop grill flavor.
  6. Flip and cook: Flip the slices and continue cooking for an additional 3 to 4 minutes to cook through the other side.
  7. Final grilling for grill marks: Remove the sweet potatoes from the pan, brush them with any remaining oil from the bowl to enhance flavor and prevent sticking, then place them directly on the grill grates.
  8. Grill for char marks: Cook the slices on the grill for 2 minutes to develop char grill marks, then flip and cook another 2 minutes for additional caramelization and smoky flavor.
  9. Serve: Remove the grilled sweet potatoes from the grill and serve warm as a delightful, smoky side dish.

Notes

  • Make sure to cut sweet potatoes into uniform thickness for even cooking.
  • Brushing with remaining oil before final grilling helps to achieve better grill marks and moistness.
  • You can add other herbs like rosemary or thyme for variation.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan on the stovetop as an alternative.
