GRILLED SWEET POTATOES WITH LIME CILANTRO VINAIGRETTE



GRILLED SWEET POTATOES WITH LIME CILANTRO VINAIGRETTE image

Categories     Potato     Side

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 lb sweet potatoes (8; preferably long)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Cover potatoes with cold salted water in a large pot, then bring to a boil. Simmer until slightly resistant in center when pierced with a sharp small knife, 25 to 30 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl of cold water to stop cooking. Drain well. When cool enough to handle, peel potatoes with a sharp small knife and quarter lengthwise. Prepare grill for cooking. Whisk together lime juice, salt, and pepper and add oil in a slow stream, whisking. Whisk in cilantro. When fire is hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 1 to 2 seconds), grill potatoes in 2 or 3 batches on lightly oiled grill rack (over coals if using a charcoal grill), uncovered, turning, until grill marks appear and potatoes are just tender, 3 to 6 minutes total. Serve potatoes warm or at room temperature, drizzled with vinaigrette.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly: This will help them crisp up in the oven.
  • Poke holes in the sweet potatoes: This will help them cook more evenly.
  • Toss the sweet potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them brown and caramelize in the oven.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Flip the sweet potatoes halfway through cooking: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Make the cilantro-lime sauce while the sweet potatoes are roasting: This will give the flavors time to meld.
  • Serve the cilantro-lime sweet potatoes immediately: They are best when hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Cilantro-lime sweet potatoes are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them spicy, tangy, or mild, these sweet potatoes are sure to please. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give cilantro-lime sweet potatoes a try. You won't be disappointed!
