Made these last night. Yum! <br/>The spice level was just right, and the crispy skins were delicious. I cut the sweet potatoes in wedges, which works fine and gives a nice presentation, but makes it more difficult for the spice mixture to adhere to the sloping surfaces!<br/>Also, in case anyone wonders how long it takes for a sweet potato to parboil to "fork tender," one hour was too long, so perhaps 45 minutes for large ones. (the missing star on my review was due to this not being stated in the recipe instructions, as it is a crucial step.) -
Made these twice now. Very easy to make and a crowd please. Make sure you oil the grill before placing these on, because they tend to stick.
