Photo: Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Lime and Cilantro Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 sweet potatoes, unpeeled
- Kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
Parcook the potatoes: Place in a pot of water and boil until fork-tender; let cool. Slice each potato lengthwise into eighths.
Preheat a grill to medium or place a cast-iron grill pan over medium heat. Mix 1 tablespoon salt, the lime zest and cayenne in a small bowl.
Brush the potato wedges with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on all sides (including the skin) and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter; immediately season with the salt mixture and sprinkle with cilantro.

Very good way to make sweet potatoes! I microwaved my potatoes for 4 minutes rather than cooking in water - less pans to clean up. Then, I cut them up and used expeller pressed coconut oil (it has no coconut flavor} and followed the rest of the recipe. They turned out great and without all the butter and sugar normally associated with sweet potatoes. They are sweet enough by themselves. Thanks, Bobby! This is on my regular rotation and sweet potatoes are sooooo good for you!

Just made these sweet potatoes this evening. Like a few others I did not par boil them first as like a bit of a snap to them vs. being totally soft. Great flavor combination. I have said for years now you can put cilantro, lime and cumin on anything and I would eat it. Not sure why I haven't thought to do this before.

The best ever. Salt? You don't need it. I've made this 2 times according to recipe. Except I don't par cook the potatoes. I brush with oil/minced garlic and grill. I use like a 1/2 tblsp of oil and juice of 1/2 a lime with zest. Flavors are amazing. I didn't have cilantro this 3rd time so used what I had in the garden....cinnamon basil and parsley. Delish!!
