Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 3 pounds sweet potatoes (about 4 sweet potatoes)
  • FOR GLAZE
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (or chipotle powder if you have it)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Glaze ... Add all the ingredients to a small cup or bowl and whisk well. I prefer to use a small tupperware container and just shake. Make ahead, it is better after it sets.

  • Step 2: Potatoes ... This is one time when I don't use the microwave. Add the potatoes to a pot filled with cold water and bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer 5-8 minutes until you can insert a knife easily, but you do NOT want them fork tender - they still need to be sliced and grilled. You just want to give them a head start.

  • Step 3: Slice and Grill ... Slice the potatoes in thick slices, brush with the glaze and cook 1-2 minutes per side, continuing to brush with the glaze. About 5 minutes and they should be done.

  • Step 4: Serve ... ENJOY! They are a great side dish. Spicy, but not too much, even kids love them.
