Spicy Grilled Sweet Potato Slices Recipes

SPICY GRILLED SWEET POTATO SLICES

Steps:

• 1. Peel sweet potato and slice them long ways very thin. I use my mandolin on the middle width blade. Drizzle with olive oil and make sure both sides of each slice is coated with the oil.
• 2. In a small bowl mix together chili powder, paprika and Cayenne pepper. You can use more Cayenne if you like more heat. Add a little cracked black pepper is desired.
• 3. Sprinkle spice mix over potatoes and rub on both sides of each slice.
• 4. Lay on med hot grill and cook on each side for about 10-15 min until done. Cooking time will depend on thickness of potatoes and heat of grill. Sprinkle salt on as soon as you remove from grill if desired.

SPICY GRILLED SWEET POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• 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.

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.
