Equipment
- canola oil
Ingredients
- 4 sweet potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder optional
- 1 tsp smoked paprika optional
- 1 tsp dried thyme optional
Instructions
- Before firing up your grill, apply a thin layer of canola oil to the grill grates (this will stop the potatoes from sticking to them)
- Fire up your grill to medium, about 350°F (180°C)
- Heat water in a large saucepan over high heat. Add whole sweet potatoes and bring to boil, then reduce to simmer. Heat until potatoes are close to cooked through, about 5-10 minutes. Remove sweet potatoes and rest until cool enough to handle.
- Once cooled, slice the potatoes into rounds. You can peel them if you prefer skin-off potatoes, but it’s not necessary and skipping it saves you plenty of time.
- Put the sweet potato discs into a bowl and drizzle the olive oil over it. Toss with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Toss until sweet potatoes are evenly covered.
- Place potatoes directly on the grill. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the potatoes have charred grill marks on them.
- Toss with more kosher salt and serve
