Perfectly Grilled Sweet Potatoes

To quote Ferris Bueller “Life moves pretty fast…” which is why I love it when I can make an amazing dish quickly. Sweet potatoes are one of my family’s favorite sides and extremely easy to cook on a Bull Grill. Not only are weet potatoes taty but they are packed with awesome nutrients. This dish is so amazing that it can easily transform from side dish to a main dish by adding a little protein.

For this recipe I don’t use frozen sweet potatoes but I can often find precut sweet potatoes in the refrigerated department at my local grocery store. If I’m cutting the sweet potatoes myself I often leave the skin on after I give them a good rinse in the sink. If you want to increase the protein of this dish I like using black beans or mushrooms.
