This Grilled Sweet Potatoes recipe offers a quick and flavorful way to enjoy tender sweet potatoes with a smoky twist. Par-cooked in the microwave and finished on the grill, the sweet potatoes develop delicious caramelized edges and a perfect charred flavor enhanced by smoked paprika and Montreal steak seasoning.

Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

  • 4 sweet potatoes

Seasonings and Oil

  • Olive oil, for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons Montreal steak seasoning
  • Salt, optional, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Par-Cook Sweet Potatoes: Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Prick each sweet potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape, then microwave them on high for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from microwave and let cool enough to handle.
  2. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to a medium-high temperature, ensuring it’s ready to sear the sweet potatoes properly.
  3. Season and Grill: Slice each sweet potato lengthwise seriously but gently. Drizzle each cut side with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle smoked paprika and Montreal steak seasoning over them. Place the sweet potato halves cut-side down on the hot grill. Cook for approximately 5 minutes until the flesh is slightly caramelized and distinct grill marks appear.
  4. Finish and Serve: Remove the sweet potatoes from the grill. Drizzle additional olive oil over them, and if desired, sprinkle with a bit of salt to enhance flavor. Serve warm as a delicious side or snack.

Notes

  • Microwaving the sweet potatoes first speeds up grilling and ensures they cook evenly inside.
  • You can adjust the amount of smoked paprika or steak seasoning to suit your taste preferences.
  • These grilled sweet potatoes pair well with a variety of main dishes like grilled meats or vegetarian options.
  • If you do not have a grill, you can achieve similar results using a grill pan on the stovetop.
  • Optional: Add fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro after grilling for a fresh finish.
