Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges

Let’s get real, everything tastes better on the grill, and these grilled sweet potato wedges are certainly no exception! Paired with a lightly spiced curry tahini dip, these soft on the inside and crispy on the outside grilled sweet potato wedges are the perfect summer side dish.

Sweet potatoes are one of my favourite starchy carbohydrates to add to any meal. Not only do they taste great, but they are incredibly versatile to prepare and work equally well for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In fact, they work well for sweet and savoury dishes alike, and can be made into everything from a mash to noodles to these grilled sweet potato wedges.

For this particular recipe, I wanted to keep things simple while still having a little fun. The sweet potatoes themselves are pretty straightforward, just a bit of oil and seasoning, but the curry tahini dip helps to add a little extra flavour. I simply added paprika and sea salt to the potatoes before popping them on the grill, but feel free to add some extra seasonings if you like. For the best results (and pretty grill marks), make sure that your grill is nice and hot before adding the sweet potatoes, this will help ensure these grilled sweet potato wedges cook evenly and look as good as they taste.
