Steps:
- Prepare the grill, prep the sweet potatoes: Prepare your grill for hot, direct heat. While the grill is heating up, peel the sweet potatoes and slice lengthwise, or on a diagonal, into 1/4 inch-thick pieces. Coat the sweet potato slices with olive oil and lightly sprinkle with Kosher salt.
- Make cilantro lime dressing: Combine all of the dressing ingredients into a small bowl.

GRILLED SWEET POTATOES
I don't really like the traditional sweet potato casserole, but my son loves sweet potatoes, so I try to come up with different ways to cook them. This spring I tried grilling them. These are now a favorite of mine and my sons.
