Grilled Sweet Potatoes

Smokey and slightly spicy, these sweet potatoes might just be the best veggie ever to come off your grill. They are ridiculously easy to whip up and are a nice surprise to serve alongside just about any summertime meal. You all already know how much I love to grill so, it was kinda of a no-brainer for me to head outside and throw these babies on the fire.grilled sweet potatoes with smoked paprikaTo let you in on a little secret, I serve sweet potatoes at least once a week. They are Mr. A Southern Soul’s fav and the boys love them too. With all that love flowing, I am always looking for ways cook this yummy veggie. My newest creation is loaded with flavor thanks to smokey paprika and Montreal steak seasoning. The low flame of the grill sears the sweet potatoes and add that “something extra” to what can be an ordinary side dish.grilled sweet potatoesNot only is this new recipe terrific, it’s also easy to make. The shortcut for cooking comes for a little help from the microwave. I just scrub the potatoes, prick them with a fork and cook them in the microwave for a few minutes until tender. Next, just let them cool until you are ready to grill them.

This past weekend, I served my flavor packed sweet potatoes with grilled burgers and sautéed mushrooms. By all accounts, it was an awesome dinner! So, it looks like I’ll be adding this new creation to my weekly rotation. sweet potatoes on the grill

    I have 4 sweet potatoes sitting on my counter right now and this would be the perfect way to use them, along side some grilled steaks or pork chops this week! Thanks for sharing your recipe on the Celebrate 365 Blog Party!

    What a great idea! I also like that you used Montreal seasoning. I’ve never added that to a sweet potato before. I bet it’s delicious!

    So, are these the lighter orangie- yellow variety or the purple ones which my grocery store calls yams? I get confused over these names.

      Hey Deloris!
      Actually, these are true, sweet potatoes from North Carolina. I don’t know where you live but I think you could prepare a yam – yellow, purple or whatever the same way. The key here is the method, so go for it, friend.
      Thank you so much for stopping by. Let me know how your dish turns out!
