- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Garnish
- ¼ cup fresh parsley roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the peeled sweet potatoes and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, until fork-tender.
- Fire up your grill to medium-high, about 400-450°F (205-230°C)
- Once ready, remove the sweet potatoes from water and drain. Leave to cool until cool enough to touch.
- Halve each potato lengthwise, before slicing into ½-inch-thick wedges
- Lightly oil a grill pan and place it on your grill’s grates
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges in the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika
- Place sweet potato wedges on the grill pan, and place back on grill grates
- Grill the fries for a few minutes on one side, until golden brown and slightly charred. Turn the fries with tongs and repeat for the other side. About 5-8 minutes total.
- Serve your sweet potatoes hot, with a garnish of fresh chopped parsley, grated parmesan, and desired dipping sauces
