From wedges to rounds, planks to cubes, Grilled Sweetpotatoes come in many forms! Here are some tips on how to cut sweetpotatoes to your liking during this #sweetsummer.

Grilled Sweetpotato Instructions:

  • Just before putting on the grill, season sweetpotatoes liberally with salt.
  • Place sweetpotato wedges directly on the cooking grate over direct heat; grill until well-marked, about 3 minutes on each side.
  • Move to indirect heat. Finish cooking, turning halfway through, until soft and tender, 20-30 minutes. Remove from grill. 

No Grill? Don’t Worry:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • On a rack fitted into a baking sheet, place sweetpotato wedges and season well with salt.
  • Bake until tender and browned around the edges, about 30 minutes.
