Are you a sweet potato fan? Then you absolutely must try these grilled sweet potatoes<\/strong>! Crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, they’ve got a little smoky char to the flavor and are absolutely delicious!

Top trick to grilled sweet potatoes: parboil them! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it’s one extra step. But for perfectly grilled sweet potatoes, you’ve got to boil them before throwing them on the grill. What is parboiling?<\/strong> Parboiling is the partial boiling of food as the first step in cooking. You don’t want to boil the potatoes fully, just enough so they’re just starting to become tender. (So don’t go all the way to boiled sweet potatoes<\/a>!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do you have to parboil sweet potatoes? Well, take it from us. If you don’t parboil hard veggies like potatoes or cauliflower before grilling, they get charred on the outside and are hard on the inside. That’s absolutely not what you want from grilled veggies! Parboil those sweet potatoes, and they grill to perfection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
