Spiced Apples & Sweet Potatoes are a sweet addition to any meal. Simple recipe takes less than 30 minutes, but there’s a trick.
Grill up some Spiced Apples and Sweet Potatoes for an amazing side dish.
Spiced Apples and Sweet Potatoes, grilled to perfection, make a sweet side dish.
Sweet potatoes and apples are coming into season now. Let me tell you about a simple but tasty treat, Grilled Spiced Apples and Sweet Potatoes. If you are like me, you love sweets. But, of course, we aren’t supposed to eat all those sugary foods. I like to get some natural sweetness in my side dishes without adding sugar. This combination of apples and sweet potatoes is just the right sweetness for me. But there’s just one trick, which I’ll tell you in a minute.
I also like foods that are quick and easy to make (or that I can encourage Don to make for me). He’s the grillmaster in our family most of the time. But with our Char-broil Infrared Gas Grill, even I can grill ups some goodness. It lights by itself with the push of a button and the temperature gauges read like my indoor oven. Easy peasy.
This recipe starts with already peeled potatoes and apples, but (typical of me) I included the time it takes me to do this task (about 5-10 minutes).
A Little Trick
Sweet potatoes take a little longer to cook than apples, so I suggest you “parboil” the sweet potatoes before you mix the two together with the spices and oil. This helps them grill quickly and not burn before they are done.
In the past, parboiling actually meant to boil it. But now, with the microwave, you can just microwave foods for a few minutes to get the cooking started before grilling to make sure the food isn’t charred on the outside and raw on the inside when you eat it.
What You Need
I find it easiest to peel the sweet potatoes with a Swiss vegetable peeler before cooking and slicing them with a good chef’s knife. I also peel and slice the apple, but I use a sharp Swiss paring knife for this task (Don and I have two of these so we don’t have to fight over them).
