Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme) for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
- Place the slices on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until you see beautiful grill marks and the potatoes are tender inside.
- Remove from the grill and arrange on a rustic plate. Sprinkle with additional sea salt and fresh herbs before serving.
Helpful Tips or Variations:
- If you prefer a sweeter touch, drizzle the grilled slices with a bit of honey or maple syrup before serving.
- For an extra flavor boost, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving.
- Beginner tip: If you’re unsure about peeling sweet potatoes, you can also grill them with the skin on for added texture.
Storage Instructions:
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in an oven or on a stovetop to maintain the crisp texture.
Ingredient Substitutions:
- If you don’t have olive oil, use any other high-heat oil like avocado or sunflower oil.
- You can substitute smoked paprika with regular paprika or even cayenne pepper for a spicier touch.
Pairings:
- These grilled sweet potato slices pair wonderfully with a fresh green salad or grilled chicken for a hearty meal.
- For drinks, consider serving with a refreshing homemade lemonade or an iced herbal tea to keep the summer vibes going.
