Spicy Grilled Sweet Potatoes Recipes

SPICY GRILLED SWEET POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Whisk olive oil oil, hot sauce, cumin, thyme, paprika, garlic powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Add sweet potato wedges and stir until wedges are evenly coated.
• Place sweet potato wedges on the preheated grill and cook for 5 minutes. Flip wedges with tongs and cook 5 additional minutes.

GRILLED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Divide the sweet potato cubes in half, and place each half in the center of a rectangle of aluminum foil. Top each portion with about half of the butter. Sprinkle about half of the brown sugar, cumin, and cayenne pepper over each portion. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the corners of the aluminum foil together and seal to form a pouch around each portion.
• Cook on the preheated grill, turning pouches every 10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes.

SPICY GRILLED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Combine the spices in a small bowl (cumin, garlic powder, salt and red pepper). Mix.
• Put the sweet potato slices in a medium bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat. Sprinkle with the spices and toss to coat evenly.
• Heat a stove-top grill or a large skillet over medium high heat. Remove briefly from heat, coat with cooking spray, and return to the heat. (The original recipe called for a grill, but I just use a skillet.).
• Place sweet potato slices in the skillet, flipping occasionally, so that they are grilled crispy on both sides. They take about 10 minutes to cook as long as they are properly sliced to a thin 1/4-inch thickness.
• When cooked, places in a serving bowl and sprinkle with the cilantro, if using. (The first several times I made this I had no cilantro, so did without. In the meantime I've made it with cilantro a few times, but it is just fine without it if you don't have any.).

GRILLED SWEET POTATOES BRUSHED WITH SPICE OIL

Steps:

• Mix together the oil, cumin, paprika and cinnamon in a small bowl. Let sit at room temperature while you prepare the potatoes.
• Put potatoes in a medium saucepan over medium heat, and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, and cook until potatoes are tender, but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly before cutting crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Brush the potatoes on each side with the spice oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until lightly golden brown on each side and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Continue to brush with the remaining oil, as they grill. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.
