Grilled Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

For the sweet potatoes:

• ~2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 large), pealed

• ~3 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil

• Salt

For the honey-lime dressing:

• 2 tablespoons honey

• 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil

• 1 1/2 teaspoons sweet chili sauce

• 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime/lemon juice

• Pinch of salt

• 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh basil

Instructions

• Heat grill for medium, direct heat (about 350°F)

• Cut 2 pounds sweet potatoes crosswise on a slight diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place in a large bowl, drizzle with 3 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil, season with salt, and toss to combine.

• Place the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the grill. Cover and cook until grill marks appear, about 5 minutes. Flip the sweet potatoes, cover, and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes more. 

• Whisk honey, olive oil, sweet chili sauce, lime/lemon juice, and salt in a large bowl. 

• When the sweet potatoes are ready, transfer to the bowl with the dressing and toss to combine. 

• Transfer to a serving platter, top with chopped basil, and serve.
