Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges
I think the fact that summer is almost over is really sinking in for me. I’ve been buying local peaches, savoring the tomatoes from our garden, making lots of summer salads (like this one), and convincing Isaac that we need to grill out for dinner every night.
All this grilling inspired me to think outside the box and grill one of my favorite veggies — sweet potatoes!
I love them roasted so I don’t know why I hadn’t thought to grill them before. They turned out to be delicious and paired perfectly with the grilled salmon we were having for dinner. That said, I personally think that sweet potatoes go with just about anything and can be served at any time of the day. Grilled sweet potatoes for breakfast — why not?
The flavor profile for these wedges is lovely — you get the fresh herb flavor from the thyme, a hint of sweetness from the cinnamon and that charred flavor that only the grill can produce. They’re great on their own but we really liked them paired with a little spicy mustard or ketchup for dipping. So good!
