Why You’ll Love grilled sweet potato wedges
There’s something magical about the smoky sweetness of grilled sweet potato wedges. Whether you’re firing up the grill for a summer BBQ or just craving a cozy side dish with a little char, these wedges hit the spot every time. Their natural sugars caramelize beautifully over the flames, giving you that irresistible crisp edge with a soft, creamy center. Plus, they’re a healthier alternative to traditional fries—without sacrificing flavor.
These wedges are perfect for outdoor gatherings, weeknight dinners, or even as a fun snack to share. They pair well with everything from grilled meats to vibrant salads. If you’re already a fan of our roasted sweet potato kale quinoa salad, you’ll love this grilled version for its bold, smoky twist.
And let’s not forget the versatility. You can serve them plain, dip them in your favorite sauce, or even toss them into a bowl with fresh herbs and spices. However you enjoy them, grilled sweet potato wedges are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I grill sweet potatoes without oil?
Yes, but they may stick to the grill and won’t crisp up as nicely. A light coating of oil helps with both flavor and texture.
Do I need to peel the sweet potatoes?
Nope! The skin is edible and adds fiber and texture. Just scrub them well before cutting.
Can I make these in the oven instead?
Absolutely. Roast them at 425°F for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through. You’ll still get a delicious result, though without the smoky grill flavor.
What’s the best dip for these wedges?
Try a garlic aioli, chipotle mayo, or even hummus. They also pair well with yogurt-based dips or our almond pesto.
How do I know when they’re done?
They should have grill marks and be fork-tender. If the fork slides in easily, they’re ready to eat.
