Receta Grilled Sweet Potatoes

by Donya Mullins

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.To 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.Not 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.    Print Grilled Sweet Potatoes Prep Time 5 mins Cook Time 20 mins Total Time 25 mins   Grilled sweet potatoes with a smokey flavor seasoned pepper and herbs are an easy side dish any time of the year.
