Grab your grill basket and get to work making these delicious Sweet Potato Wedges! I love that fact that these have a delicious spice on that for a little kick but nothing to crazy. Combine that with crispy edges and I’m a gone. Plus, the flavor from grilling them is over the top!

I love, love, love finding new side dishes to make on the grill because my goal is to make my ENTIRE meal on the grill if I’m grilling. It’s to hard to manage things in the kitchen while manning the grill too. I even make my desserts on the grill! This is also why I invest in this grill because it’s AMAZING and can handle all of it!

First things first… you and your family are going to love these taters!!! The seasoning is super flavorful, but not hot or overpowering so everyone will love them. The inside of the grilled sweet potato wedges get super creamy, the edges crisp!

Really a delicious side dish!

There’s a couple of questions I always get asked when it comes to sweet potatoes –

Can you eat the skin of a sweet potato?

Absolutely! The skins of the potatoes are delicious, just makes sure you scrub the potatoes well before grilling.

Do you have to peel sweet potato wedges?

Nope! It’s your preference. Me I prefer skin-on, I also think they hold together better especially on the grill.

How do you make crispy sweet potato wedges?

If you’re looking for a crispy wedge you’ll need to start cornstarch. That’s really the secret to super crispy sweet potatoes. That and double frying in oil. Since we’re making these on the grill these sweet potatoes will have crispy edges and are wonderfully seasoned!

What spices to put on grilled sweet potato wedges?

  • Salt
  • Paprika
  • Pepper
  • Cumin
  • Coriander

Are sweet potatoes healthier?

Great question! Sweet potatoes provide a great source of nutrition and though delicious, are more expensive than white potatoes. Both have great nutritional value. I love sweet potatoes, but not just in the fall and winter. By grilling them we get to enjoy sweet potatoes year round!

Steps to make Seasoned Grilled Sweet Potatoes Wedges

  1. Preheat the grill
  2. Place your perforated grill pan on the grill to preheat also
  3. Combine the spices in a medium sized bowl
  4. Scrub the potatoes under cold water, dry them well
  5. Cut the potatoes into wedges, drizzle with olive oil and mix to combine with the seasonings
  6. Spread the potatoes in a single layer, close the lid
  7. Turn occasionally to brown all sides
  8. Potatoes are done when they are easily pierced with a knife

How do you cut a sweet potato into wedges?

Start by slicing the end tips off the potato, slice it in half and then into quarters. Cut the sweet potatoes into a uniform size. If they aren’t all about the same size they will not cook evenly.

These sweet potato wedges have the perfect seasoning on them! I love the crisp edges and the spicy and sweet seasoning. It’s a great combination!
