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 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.Read more

    Loved this dish!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I didn't have the mango but had everything else to make this and it was wonderful - more like a side dish than a salad. I... served it with smoked pork chops . I made it in the oven but can't wait to make it at our next camping trip on the grill. I didn't have the peanuts eiither. The spices made it so delicious!Read more

    Great spice combinations

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Served this to our wine club right off the grill and the spice and vegetable/fruit combinations made it a great side dish,... well loved by all. The foil packets kept all the flavors in and made everything soft and flavorful.Read more
