Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Directions
Step 1
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and slice them lengthwise into ½-inch thick wedges.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
Step 3
Place the sweet potato wedges in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them, tossing well to coat each piece evenly.
Step 4
Preheat your barbecue grill to medium heat (about 375°F/190°C). If using a charcoal grill, ensure that the coals are hot and spread evenly.
Step 5
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the sweet potatoes from sticking.
Step 6
Place the sweet potato wedges directly on the grill. Grill each side for about 6-8 minutes, or until caramelized grill marks appear and the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the sweet potatoes from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 8
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the grilled sweet potatoes for garnish.
Step 9
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or a light meal, paired with your favorite protein or a fresh salad.
