GRILLED SWEET POTATO & JICAMA
My dad used to grill sweet potatoes and serve them with a simple vinaigrette. I've tweaked his recipe over the years to give this special side a little Southern twist.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my vegetables didn't cook evenly. The sweet potatoes were still hard, while the jicama was mushy.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a bit too much chipotle powder. Other than that, it was a great dish.

[email protected]This was a great way to use up some leftover sweet potatoes and jicama. I didn't have any chipotle powder, so I used a bit of smoked paprika instead. It turned out great!
