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.

Have made these twice! The lime and cilantro is definitely a great flavor complement and alternative for sweet potatoes. I had to leave them on the grill a little longer than said.

Not too bad. I think I boiled the potatoes too long as the skin was falling off while I cooked them. I really liked the flavor profile.

These are super simple to do. Everyone raved about them the first time I made them. I make them a couple of times a month now. Yum.
