Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges

Healthy Fact of the Day

Sweet potatoes are packed with beta-carotene, fiber, and potassium. Grilling them with the skin on preserves nutrients while adding extra fiber and a pleasant texture contrast.

These Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges bring natural sweetness and smoky char together in perfect harmony, creating a side dish that’s both healthy and incredibly satisfying. The combination of smoked paprika and garlic powder enhances the sweet potatoes’ natural flavors while grilling caramelizes their edges and creates those coveted grill marks. They’re the perfect complement to any barbecue spread and a healthier alternative to regular potato sides.

If you love these smoky, grilled flavors, you’ll also enjoy our Grilled Citrus Chicken with Glaze that pairs beautifully with these wedges for a complete outdoor meal. For another sweet potato option, try the Black Bean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes that turn this nutritious vegetable into a complete meal. The Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet offers a hearty one-pan option that celebrates sweet potato’s versatility.

    Ingredients

    • 2 large sweet potatoes

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

    • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

    • 0.5 teaspoon salt

    • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

    Directions

    • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ideally reaching around 400°F or 200°C to cook the sweet potatoes evenly.
    • Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly; leave the skin on for added texture and nutrition to the wedges.
    • Slice the sweet potatoes into thick wedges, about 1-inch wide, to ensure they cook properly on the grill.
    • In a large bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and mix to form a seasoning paste.
    • Toss the sweet potato wedges in the seasoning paste until they are evenly coated, ensuring all surfaces are covered.
    • Place the seasoned sweet potato wedges on the grill grates, making sure they are arranged in a single layer.
    • Grill the wedges for about 7-8 minutes per side or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
    • Remove the grilled sweet potato wedges from the heat and let them cool slightly before serving.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
