Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• Fresh lime wedges for serving, optional

Instructions

1. Scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly and cut them lengthwise into evenly sized wedges.
2. Place the wedges in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a gentle boil.
3. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, just until the wedges begin to soften but are still firm enough to hold their shape.
4. Drain well and allow the sweet potatoes to cool and dry for several minutes.
5. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F.
6. Place the wedges in a large bowl and gently toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
7. Place the wedges directly on the grill and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, until tender with visible grill marks and lightly crisp edges.
8. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
9. Serve warm with fresh lime wedges, if desired.

Notes & Tips

• Parboiling the sweet potatoes helps the centers cook through without burning the outside on the grill.
• Do not overcook them during parboiling or the wedges may break apart.
• For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning.
• These pair especially well with grilled chicken, turkey burgers, or fish.
