These grilled sweet potato wedges are smoky, tender, and lightly seasoned with olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Served with a creamy homemade garlic aioli, they make a delicious side dish or appetizer.

Ingredients

  • 3 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed well
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • Juice from 1 lemon (2–3 tablespoons)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and simmer until slightly resistant when pierced with a knife or fork, about 10 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes well and allow them to cool until easy to handle.
  3. Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut into wedges.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, thyme, sea salt, and pepper. Brush the mixture evenly over the sweet potato wedges.
  5. In another small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt and pepper to taste to make the garlic aioli.
  6. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates.
  7. Grill the sweet potato wedges for 7 to 8 minutes, turning once, until grill marks appear and the potatoes are cooked through.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve with the garlic aioli or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Parboiling the sweet potatoes helps them cook evenly on the grill.
  • Adjust the lemon juice and garlic in the aioli to suit your taste.
  • These wedges pair well with grilled meats, burgers, or sandwiches.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat on a grill pan or in the oven for best texture.
