Japanese sweet potatoes are starchier than yams and worth seeking out. Steaming before grilling keeps them moist.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

8 small or 4 large Japanese sweet potatoes
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
Kosher salt
Flaky sea salt
Freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Rub sweet potatoes with 2 Tbsp. oil and wrap tightly in foil-you can wrap them on their own or put 2 in each packet. Grill, turning every 5 minutes or so, until tender, 30-45 minutes. Unwrap and let cool slightly. (Or, steam in a basket set over a pot filled with 1" of boiling water 30-35 minutes. If not using right away, let cool, then cover and chill until ready to grill-up to 2 days.)
Meanwhile, bring honey, vinegar, and a big pinch of kosher salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high (you can do this on the grill if you want), reduce heat, and simmer until just beginning to thicken, about 4 minutes. Keep warm.
Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Rub cut surfaces with 1 Tbsp. oil total; season with kosher salt. Grill, cut side down, without turning, until lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and brush with honey glaze.
Arrange sweet potatoes on a platter and drizzle with more glaze and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Season with sea salt and pepper.

Ingredients

8 small sweet potatoes (about 3 lb. total), scrubbed, halved lengthwise
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt
6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature
2 Tbsp. honey
3 Tbsp. hot sauce (such as Tapatío or Cholula)
¼ cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 Tbsp. ground coriander
Flaky sea salt
Lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 425°F. Place sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with ¼ cup oil, and season with kosher salt. Turn to coat. Arrange cut side down and roast until tender (the tip of a knife should slide easily into flesh) and cut sides are browned, 25-30 minutes. Let sweet potatoes cool.
Meanwhile, smash together butter and honey in a small bowl with a fork until smooth. Add hot sauce a tablespoonful at a time, blending well after each addition. Season hot honey butter with kosher salt.
Cook pumpkin seeds and remaining ¼ cup oil in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until pumpkin seeds are golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in coriander; season with kosher salt.
Arrange sweet potatoes on a platter and spread with hot honey butter. Sprinkle with sea salt and spoon pumpkin seed oil over. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
Do Ahead: Hot honey butter can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.
