Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the soaked napkins in the center of the grill.
3. Stack firewood on top of the napkins and light the paper.
4. Let the grill heat for about 20 minutes until the cooktop is hot and ready.

Step 2: Season the Sweet Potatoes

1. In a bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with melted butter, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
2. Ensure each slice is evenly coated for balanced flavor.

Step 3: Grill the Sweet Potatoes

1. Place the slices on the Arteflame’s flat cooktop, closer to the center for higher heat.

Step 4: Drizzle with Cane Syrup

1. Transfer the grilled sweet potatoes to a serving plate.
2. Drizzle generously with Mississippi cane syrup.

Tips

• For extra crispy edges, cook the sweet potatoes near the center of the flat cooktop where heat is more intense.
• If you prefer a smoky flavor, add a small chunk of hickory wood to the fire.
• For even cooking, rotate and flip the slices periodically.
