    5 Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges

    Do you ever have a vegetable dish that you love, but don’t cook it as often as you want? This sweet potato dish is ours! We love them! We have been cooking zucchini and yellow squash a lot lately, and kept forgetting how much we missed the sweet potato!

    Huge bonus is this is almost the fastest vegetable to grill in just 15 minutes besides the Grilled Eggplant.

    🍠 Preparation

    Step One: Cut the sweet potatoes into one inch wedges.

    Optional: Use a food slicer if you have one. I think it is easier than using a knife. That is the technique I used for the Grilled Parmesan Sweet Potato recipe.  It allowed all of the slices to be the exact same thickness, which really helps with the cooking time.

    Step Two: Mix the melted butter and brown sugar with a little bit of cumin. Pour this mixture into a ziplock bag and add the sweet potato wedges. Shake the bag gently to evenly coat the potatoes.

    🔥 Grilling Instructions

    Step One: Set up the grill for direct heat at 350 degrees.

    Step Two: Lay the sweet potatoes on the grate and grill each side for about five minutes. They should be fork tender.

    Step Three: After grilling, drizzle a little bit of honey over the top and serve!

    Note: Make sure you add plenty of olive oil to the surface of the GrillGrate. I didn’t and some of the potato wedges stuck to the surface.

    🧑‍🍳 Equipment

    GrillGrate – You could just lay the sweet potato wedges on the grilling grate, but I just got a new toy, and thought this would be a good time to try it out.  Ginny was kind enough to buy me the GrillGrate. It is a hard aluminum product that you set directly on the grate.

    The rails heat up significantly hotter than the grill surface, and the GrillGrate spreads the heat evenly to minimize cold spots.  I thought it would be fun to try as I really wanted the distinctive sear marks on the grilled sweet potato wedges.

    It worked wonders!

    💡 Recipe Tips

    The list is really endless here. Open up your spice cabinet and have a great time. Mix in the apple pie spice instead of cinnamon, rub with a savory to capture a sweet/savory combo! These are fun and you can go crazy with this one!

    • Add butter, brown sugar and cumin to a ziplock bag and mix
    • Add in the potato wedges and work the mixture to coat the potatoes

    Notes

    You can use a grilling vegetable basket, but it really isn’t necessary.  The wedges were large enough to pick up with tongs and lift up with the spatula.
