French Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Cinnamon

Introduction

Grilled sweet potatoes with a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg caramelize beautifully on the Arteflame grill, delivering a crispy exterior and a tender, flavorful inside. The flat-top cooktop ensures even cooking without burning, while a bit of butter adds richness and depth to the dish.

Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into ½-inch rounds
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• Salt, to taste
• 1 tbsp honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them inside the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the napkins and light them.
3. Allow the grill to heat up for about 20 minutes until the cooktop is evenly hot.

Step 2: Prep the Sweet Potatoes

1. Wash and slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch rounds.
2. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
3. Brush both sides of each slice with the butter mixture.

Step 3: Grill the Sweet Potatoes

1. Place the sweet potato slices on the hotter section of the outer cooktop.
2. Let them grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until caramelized and fork-tender.
3. Move them to a cooler section if they cook too fast.

Step 4: Finish and Serve

1. Drizzle honey over the grilled sweet potatoes for a touch of added sweetness.
2. Remove them from the Arteflame grill and serve hot.

Tips

• Use uniform slices to ensure even cooking.
• Cook nearer to the center of the grill for a deeper caramelization.
• Keep the butter mixture warm to maintain an even coating.

Variations

1. Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the butter mixture.
2. Herb Infusion: Mix in finely chopped rosemary and thyme for an aromatic twist.
3. Citrus Glaze: Drizzle grilled slices with orange or lemon zest and juice.
