Servings

4

Ingredients

2 lb U.S. sweet potatoes (3–4 medium), cut into 3/4–1″ thick wedges
2 Tbsp neutral oil

For the glaze

3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp chili powder or cayenne
Salt & Pepper, to taste

Suggested Toppings

4 slices bacon (or 200 g smoked tofu for vegetarian), cooked crisp and crumbled
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp chopped chives
1 tsp lemon juice
Flaky sea salt and extra chopped chives for garnish

Instructions

Step 1
Par‑cook sweet potato. Wash and cut into wedges. Place wedges in a large microwave‑safe bowl, cover loosely and microwave on high approx. 4 minutes until just starting to soften (or par‑boil 4–5 minutes and drain).
Step 2
Preheat grill to medium (375–425°F / 190–220°C). Oil grate lightly.
Step 3
Whisk glaze ingredients together.
Step 4
Toss wedges with oil, then brush both sides with half the glaze. Place wedges on grill cut‑side down; cook 6–8 minutes per side, basting with remaining glaze and turning once, until caramelized and tender.
Step 5
While grilling, mix yogurt, chives and lemon juice; season to taste.
Step 6
To serve, arrange grilled wedges on platter, top with crumbled bacon (or smoked tofu), dollops of chive yogurt, flaky sea salt and extra chives.

Notes

If you don’t want to BBQ, cook wedges in the air fryer on 400°F for 15-20 minutes.
