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
-
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. -
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.
-
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.
-
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.
Pairing Suggestions
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.
