Introduction

These Cinnamon-Spiced Sweet Potatoes bring the warmth of fall spices to your Thanksgiving spread. Grilled on the Arteflame, they achieve a caramelized crust with a soft interior, and the cinnamon-butter glaze gives them a delightful holiday twist. This easy side dish pairs beautifully with other Thanksgiving flavors and is perfect for serving fresh off the grill.

Ingredients

• 3 large sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• Salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Arteflame Grill
   Start by firing up the Arteflame grill with three vegetable oil-soaked paper napkins and stacking firewood over them. Light it up, and let the grill heat up for about 20 minutes.

2. Season the Sweet Potatoes

   • In a bowl, mix the melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
   • Brush each sweet potato slice generously with the cinnamon-butter mixture on both sides.

3. Grill the Sweet Potatoes

   • Place the sweet potato slices on the medium-hot area of the Arteflame’s cooktop.
   • Grill each side for about 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and tender, brushing with additional butter mixture as they cook to deepen the caramelization.

4. Serve

   • Once the sweet potatoes are perfectly caramelized and tender, remove them from the grill.
   • Transfer to a serving plate, drizzle any remaining cinnamon-butter glaze over the top, and serve hot.

Tips

• Use Fresh Spices: Fresh cinnamon and nutmeg enhance the warm, cozy flavors of these sweet potatoes.
• Monitor for Doneness: Move slices around to avoid overcooking; the Arteflame’s cooktop zones make it easy to find the perfect heat level.
• Serve Right Away: The texture and flavor are best when enjoyed fresh off the grill.

Variations

• Honey Alternative: Swap the maple syrup for honey for a different sweetness.
• Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a sweet and spicy combination.
• Oven Method: Roast at 400°F (205°C) for 20-25 minutes if a grill isn’t available.

Best Pairings

These Cinnamon-Spiced Sweet Potatoes pair wonderfully with other Thanksgiving staples like turkey, roasted Brussels sprouts, and stuffing. Try them alongside a cranberry sauce or charred green beans for a balanced holiday plate.

Conclusion

With their caramelized edges and fragrant cinnamon-butter glaze, these grilled Cinnamon-Spiced Sweet Potatoes are a must-have side dish for the holiday season. Easy to prepare and bursting with fall flavors, they complement any Thanksgiving feast beautifully.
