Grilled Sweet Potato Fries
Author: 
Recipe type: Direct heat
Serves: 4 to 6
 
Ingredients
  • 3 to 4 medium sweet potatoes, washed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon salt, plus more for boiling
  • 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Cilantro leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. Place unpeeled sweet potatoes in a pot of cold salted water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until a pairing knife can be inserted to the center without much resistance; be careful not to overcook. Drain and plunge into an ice bath to stop the cooking. NOTE: This can be done to this point the day before. Drain and remove the skin from the sweet potatoes. Pat dry and slice into steak fry-size pieces. Transfer to a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Thoroughly combine the salt and spices; sprinkle over fries and toss to coat once more.
  2. Set up grill for direct cooking over medium heat. Clean, brush, and oil grates before cooking. Place fries on preheated grill at a 45 angle to the grates. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until well-marked and heated through. Serve immediately with condiments of choice or my Sirracha Yogurt Dip (recipe follows).
