Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Peel them if desired, or leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients.
Step 3
Cut each sweet potato into thick wedges, about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick, to resemble steak fries.
Step 4
Place the sweet potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, black pepper, and kosher salt.
Step 6
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the sweet potato wedges, and toss again to ensure the fries are evenly coated.
Step 7
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Arrange the sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the grill, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Step 8
Grill the sweet potato wedges for 8-10 minutes on one side, then flip them carefully using tongs. Grill for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until they are charred on the outside and tender on the inside when pierced with a fork.
Step 9
Remove the sweet potato steak fries from the grill and transfer them to a serving dish.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Optionally, serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
