It's great!

Grilled Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
" 2 pounds sweet potatoes
" 3-4 Tbsp olive oil
" Kosher salt
Dressing
" 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro (including tender stems)
" 2 teaspoon of lime zest or lemon zest
" 3 tablespoons of fresh lime or lemon juice
" 1/4 cup olive oil
" 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
Method
1 Prepare the grill, prep the sweet potatoes: Prepare your grill for hot,
direct heat. While the
grill is heating up, peel the sweet potatoes and slice lengthwise, or on
a diagonal, into 3/8
inch-thick pieces. Coat the sweet potato slices with olive oil and
lightly sprinkle with Kosher
salt.

2 Make cilantro lime dressing: Combine all of the dressing ingredients into a small bowl.

3 Grill the sweet potatoes: Once the grill is hot, lay the sweet potato
pieces down onto the grill
grates. Cover the grill and cook until each side gets some grill marks,
between 3-6 minutes for each
side, depending on how hot your grill is.

4 Toss with dressing: Toss the sweet potatoes in a bowl with the dressing and serve hot.


Missing garlic.


It would have to be raw, which is OK with me, but wife wouldn't go for it. The zest and cilantro had
a lot of flavor. The garlic can go in the pulled pork we're having with it.
