Yield Makes 16 servings

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 and unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size so that they cook evenly.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes: This helps the steam escape and prevents the potatoes from bursting.
  • Brush with oil: This helps the potatoes brown and caramelize.
  • Season generously: Don't be afraid to use a lot of spices and herbs. Sweet potatoes can handle bold flavors.
  • Cook over medium-high heat: This will help the potatoes cook through without burning.
  • Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking: This ensures that they cook evenly on all sides.
  • Serve immediately: Grilled sweet potatoes are best served hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Smoky grilled sweet potatoes with cilantro lime are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. They're perfect for cookouts, potlucks, or even just a weeknight dinner. So fire up your grill and give this recipe a try!
