Grilled Sweet Potato Fries

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Sweet Potato Fries.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your outdoor grill to a medium heat, and don’t forget to lightly oil the grill grate to keep those delicious sweet potato wedges from sticking.

2. Step 2

   While the grill warms up, give your sweet potatoes a good scrub under cold running water to remove any dirt.

3. Step 3

   Once they’re clean, slice each potato lengthwise into eight wedges and toss them into a mixing bowl.

4. Step 4

   Drizzle two tablespoons of olive oil over the wedges, and give them a gentle toss to ensure they’re evenly coated.

5. Step 5

   In a separate small bowl, combine the remaining olive oil with smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

   This blend will add a delightful kick to your sweet potatoes.

   Now, it’s time to arrange the wedges on the grill.

8. Step 8

   Place them perpendicular to the grates for those beautiful grill marks.

9. Step 9

   Lower the heat to low and let them grill, turning occasionally, until they’re tender—this should take about 16 to 18 minutes.

10. Step 10

    To amp up the flavor, brush the wedges with your oil and spice mixture on both sides, then grill them for an extra 1 to 2 minutes.
