Grilled Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

Directions

1. Slice the sweet potatoes into 1/2″ thick slices and place in a pot of water.
2. Bring to a boil and cook for 3-5 minutes.
3. With a slotted spoon, move the potatoes to a bowl of cool water, and let them sit for 10 minutes to cool.
4. Remove the potatoes from the cool water and pat them dry.
5. Lightly coat the potatoes with olive oil.
6. Sprinkle one side of each potato with the salt and cinnamon.
