Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Slice them into 1/2-inch-thick rounds to ensure even cooking.
Place the sweet potato slices in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring the water to a boil.
Boil the sweet potatoes for 5-7 minutes, or until they are just tender but not falling apart. Drain and let them cool slightly.
Brush both sides of the sweet potato slices with olive oil and season with kosher salt and black pepper.
Place the sweet potato slices on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they have clear grill marks and a smoky flavor.
Remove the grilled sweet potatoes from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the sweet potatoes with lime juice and sprinkle lime zest over them.
Finish the dish by scattering chopped fresh cilantro on top. Serve warm and enjoy!
