Ingredients
- 1 pound sweet potatoes cut into 3/4-inch-thick wedges
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay® seasoning
- cilantro optional, to taste, chopped, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 375-450 degrees F.
- Fill a grill-proof pot with water, place it on the grill, and allow it to heat until it is boiling.
- Add the sweet potatoes to the boiling water and cook them until they can just be pierced with a paring knife, but they still feel firm and hold their shape, about 5 minutes.
- Drain the sweet potatoes in a colander and allow them to cool slightly.
- In a bowl, add the sweet potatoes, the olive oil, the salt, and the Old Bay seasoning and toss gently to combine.
- Place the sweet potato wedges directly on the grill grates and cook, flipping them once, until char marks form, about 3-5 minutes per side.
- Serve the sweet potatoes garnished with the cilantro.
