What to do when you’re “over” the traditional method of preparing things – like baked sweet potatoes – and feeling uninspired? Challenge the husband to come up with something on the grill. Brandon whipped these grilled sweet potato slices up as a side dish last week and they turned out great! I would describe them as a cross between a sweet potato fry and a sweet potato chip. They were coated in olive oil and a spicy jerk rub and had a nice flavor.
Try these out for a new sweet potato preparation and a perfect summer grilling side item.
Grilled Sweet Potato Slices
(Recipes source Egghead forum)
Ingredients:
2 sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/4 inch thick rounds
Olive oil
Jerk seasoning (recommended: Dizzy Pig Jamaican Firewalk)
Kosher salt
Directions:
Preheat grill to 350 degrees. Coat potato slices in olive oil and generously sprinkle with seasoning rub and kosher salt. Carefully place potato slices on grill. Don’t be alarmed if you lose a few through the grates. If you want to prevent this you can lay foil down on the grate before grilling but you will lose those beautiful grill marks! Grill on medium heat, turning frequently (and carefully!) until slices begin getting grill marks and can be easily pierced. This should take about 12-15 minutes.
Yield: 2-3 servings
Oh yum! I love all things sweet potato. We’ll have to try that!
I cannot wait until I can grill when the weather gets warmer… this looks delicious!
love this! i am always looking for things for me (vegetarian) to grill when my hubby (carnivore) is having some form of meat. this would be a great idea – filling and healthy. thanks!
These are great. I find ti helps to precook the sweat potatoes before grilling.
Hey there. Tanya made these tonight. They were excellent, and funny enough she lost one on the grill.
Anyway, they were delicious and a perfect complement to the grill burger. Yum.
