Grilled sweet potato slices

Quick tips

  1. Before lighting the grill, brush the grates with a thin layer of canola oil. This prevents the potato slices from sticking to the grill when grilling. It’s important to use canola oil instead of other types of cooking oil because canola oil has a high smoke point of almost 400°F(204°C), allowing it to withstand high grilling temperatures.
  2. Buy sweet potatoes that are similar in size and color. This will ensure they cook at the same speed and taste just as good as the others.
  3. Don’t forget to pre-cook the potatoes before slicing. This is the best way to ensure your potato slices have a caramelized exterior and a soft, sweet interior.

Gear

  • Rapsol

ingredients

  • 4 sweet potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder optional
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika optional
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme optional

Instructions

  • Before lighting the grill, apply a thin layer of canola oil to the grill grates(this will prevent the potatoes from sticking to them).
  • Turn your grill up to medium-high, around 180°C.
  • Heat water in a large saucepan over high heat. Add the whole sweet potatoes and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Heat until potatoes are quickly cooked through, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove sweet potatoes and let rest until cool enough to handle.
  • After cooling, cut the potatoes into slices. You can peel them if you prefer skinless potatoes, but you don’t have to, and leaving them out saves a lot of time.
  • Place the sweet potato slices in a bowl and drizzle over the olive oil. Mix with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika and dried thyme. Stir until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
  • Place the potatoes directly on the grill. Cook about 5 minutes on each side, or until potatoes have charred grill marks.
  • Season with more kosher salt and serve
