Ingredients
- 4 medium Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing and scrubbing the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Slice each sweet potato into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Try to keep the thickness consistent to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh rosemary, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and salt.
Step 4
Add the sweet potato slices to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice and oil mixture.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (204°C). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Place the sweet potato rounds directly on the grill grates. Grill them for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have achieved prominent grill marks.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the sweet potato slices from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 8
Drizzle the grilled sweet potatoes with lemon juice and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for added freshness and flavor.
Step 9
Serve the heart-healthy grilled sweet potatoes warm as a side dish or nutritious snack.
