Grilled Cilantro Lime Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes

  • 3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • Kosher salt

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro (including tender stems)

  • 1 teaspoon of lime zest or lemon zest

  • 2 tablespoons of fresh lime or lemon juice

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  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 1/4 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.
