These are a great side dish for any meal. The salt goes nicely with the sweet flavor of the sweet potato, and the cinnamon gives it that extra sweet kick!
If you like sweet potatoes, I know you’ll be very pleased with the taste of these.
Grilled Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- olive oil
- kosher salt (to taste)
- cinnamon (to taste)
Directions
- Slice the sweet potatoes into 1/2″ thick slices and place in a pot of water.
- Bring to a boil and cook for 3-5 minutes.
- With a slotted spoon, move the potatoes to a bowl of cool water, and let them sit for 10 minutes to cool.
- Remove the potatoes from the cool water and pat them dry.
- Lightly coat the potatoes with olive oil.
- Sprinkle one side of each potato with the salt and cinnamon.
- Place them directly on your grill, spiced side down, over medium-high heat, and sprinkle spices on the second side.

I love cinnamon so I know I’d love these.
They look great my friend, I like to also add brown sugar and butter.
Thanks for stopping by Steve. Brown sugar and butter would be great. I use brown sugar in a lot of recipes. I do like it sweet!

Thanks Dave. I’m glad you liked them. They’re one of my favorite sides on the grill.
Thanks for the links back. Awesome!
ahhhh, the original version, saw’s Dave’s too – these look great, I like to grill swt potatoes all the time, think they go so well with grilled meats, like bourbon glazed with steaks too… Thanks so much for your entry and good gaming…
Thanks Drick. Yea, I didn’t realized Dave had already submitted his until I looked at the thumbnails.
What a wonderful way to prepare sweet potatoes! These would be really good alongside pork or chicken, but I have a feeling I’d be just as happy to eat them solo.
my kind of food right here!
My mouth is watering!
These look wonderful
I love the idea of grilling sweet potato – add a touch of cinnamon and you have an autumn delight!
wow, these sound amazing… I can’t wait for grilling season again – we were joking just yesterday that we should open up the grill… it’s snowing here
I remember when sweet potatoes were relegated to the holidays only. Now we see all kinds of tasty recipes for them. I love your grilled version.
