Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
Slice each sweet potato lengthwise into wedges, approximately 6-8 wedges per potato, depending on size.
Step 3
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water and carefully place the sweet potato wedges in the pot.
Step 4
Parboil the sweet potato wedges for 5-7 minutes, or until they are slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside to cool for a few minutes.
Step 5
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Place the cooled sweet potato wedges in a large mixing bowl and pour the seasoned olive oil mixture over them. Gently toss to ensure each wedge is evenly coated.
Step 7
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Place the sweet potato wedges directly on the grill in a single layer. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the wedges are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 9
Remove the wedges from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges!
