Serves 6

Ingredients:

4 large sweet potatoes

3-4 Tbsp olive oil

Kosher salt

Cilantro Lime Dressing:

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

1 tsp lime zest

2 Tbsp fresh lime juice

1/3 cup olive oil

pinch of salt

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the potatoes until they can be just pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes. Cut into large chunks or into lengthwise wedges.

Prepare the grill for medium hot heat.

Coat the sweet potatoes with olive oil and lightly sprinkle kosher salt.

Once the grill is hot, lay the sweet potatoes onto the grill grates.  Cover the grill and cook until each side has grill marks, between 3-6 minutes for each side, depending on how hot the grill.

Meanwhile make the cilantro dressing by combining all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.

When sweet potatoes are grilled to your liking, toss them in a bowl with the dressing and serve immediately.
