Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges

Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges deliver a smoky-sweet bite with tender centers and lightly charred, caramelized edges. A warm spice oil of smoked paprika, garlic, cinnamon, and a hint of cayenne coats each wedge, adding depth and a gentle kick. Serve as a vibrant summer side for cookouts or alongside grilled mains.

Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges
  1. 1

    Heat an outdoor grill to medium and lightly oil the grate.

  2. 2

    Scrub the sweet potatoes well under cold running water. Slice each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges. Put the wedges in a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of oil. In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining olive oil with paprika, salt, garlic powder, cinnamon, and cayenne.

  3. 3

    Arrange the wedges on the grill perpendicular to the grates and lower the heat to low. Cook over low heat, turning now and then, until the potatoes are soft, 16 to 18 minutes. Brush the wedges with the oil mixture on both sides, grill for 1 to 2 minutes more, then move them to a plate.
