Ingredients
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 2 sweet onions, peeled, trimmed, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
- 2 mangos, peeled, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, stem, rib, and seeds removed, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pinch cayenne
- 1/3 cup chopped toasted peanuts
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
Preheat a grill.
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, onions, mangos, and bell peppers. Add the oil, lime juice, cinnamon, cumin, nutmeg, salt, and cayenne, and toss well to coat evenly.
Lay 2 large pieces of heavy aluminum foil in a stack on a work surface. Mound the sweet potato mixture into the middle and wrap in the foil, turning up the edges to make a tight, well-sealed package. Place directly on the grill and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
(Alternately, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the potato-mango package in the middle of the oven and roast until the potatoes begin to soften, 45 to 50 minutes. Uncover and roast until tender and starting to caramelize, 15 to 20 minutes.)
Remove from the grill and let cool slightly before unwrapping. Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a large, decorative bowl and adjust the seasoning, to taste. Sprinkle with peanuts and fresh cilantro and serve.

I made this last night as an accompaniment for chicken fajitas and it was DELICIOUS! Can't wait to eat it cold today. The recipe sounded like it might be a bit spicy, but the flavors balanced together beautifully. And the aroma was fabulous! I added a little extra lime, because I love it, and a bit more than a pinch of cayenne, but there were a lot of potatoes. Emeril, your recipes have never failed to please me and mine.

This was the best, we prepared this last week on the grill. It was an amazing twist to one of our favs, sweet potatoes. We found the flavors to compliment each other and the sweet, crunchy, patatoe mixture was genius, I think I will go make some more. thank you!!

I was looking for a good alternative starch to some thick cut pork chops than your standard baked potato or baked sweet potato. I did everything right and it looked good going into the oven but when it came out, it just didn't have much sex-appeal. tender and properly cooked but it served almost like mush. It tasted ho-hum too. just a simple baked sweet potato would have been better. Lucky the pork chops were grilled perfectly and could carry the blah side dish.
