Looking for a delicious way to enjoy sweet potatoes this summer? These Grilled Sweet Potato Rounds are lightly smoky on the outside, tender on the inside and make a wonderful addition to any backyard barbecue or weeknight meal.
Grilled Sweet Potato Rounds
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- Chili powder
- Fresh chives, chopped
Directions
Slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch rounds. Steam for 8–10 minutes or until just beginning to become tender but still firm enough to hold their shape. Lightly dust with chili powder or your favorite spices before grilling, I find sweet and spicy go incredibly well together. Transfer carefully to a hot grill and cook for 3–4 minutes per side or until nicely charred and tender all the way through. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley before serving.
These savory sweet potato rounds pair beautifully with grilled vegetables, fresh salads, beans or your favorite whole-food, plant-based summer meal.
Have you ever tried sweet potatoes on the grill?

I started out over a decade ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
