Spicy Grilled Sweet Potatoes

Categorized under

These flavors work well together with a surprise ingredient - cinnamon!

Potatoes can be pre-cooked in microwave or placed in a pot of water and cooked until fork tender.  If you don't pre-cook the potatoes they will be slightly drier in texture but will also crisp up on the outside nicer!  Your choice!

 

4 medium sweet potatoes (will serve 8)

1 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp chipotle powder (cayenne will work as well)

2 Tbl apple cider vinegar

1/4 C olive oil

Preheat Memphis Grill to 400º-450º. Slice potatoes into three-sided wedges.  Mix together salt, spices and apple cider vinegar.  Add oil in a slow stream.  Toss mixture with potatoes.  If potatoes are pre-cooked they'll only need to be on the grill a few minutes.  For uncooked wedges, it wiil take 20 minutes or more depending on the thickness of the wedge.
