Preparation Steps
1
Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes, then peel them and cut them into slices or sticks about 1/4 inch thick.
2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, honey, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade.
3
Place the sweet potato slices or sticks in a large bowl and brush them with the marinade. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill with grates, lightly oil them to prevent the sweet potatoes from sticking.
5
Place the sweet potatoes on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, until they develop nice grill marks and are slightly softened.
6
During the last minute of grilling, brush the sweet potatoes with BBQ sauce, then cook for another minute to allow the sauce to slightly caramelize.
7
Remove the sweet potatoes from the grill and sprinkle with fresh rosemary before serving. Serve warm, either as a side dish or as a standalone dish.
