Recipe: Grilled sweet potatoes with lime and cilantro

Grilled sweet potatoes with lime and cilantro

In case you haven't figured out by now, I really like sweet potatoes. Mostly because my fiance prefers sweet potatoes to regular potatoes, and I just like potatoes in general. Sweet potatoes are much better for you, so here's just another way to cook them!

                Ingredients

3 sweet potatoes, unpeeled

Kosher salt

2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest

Pinch of cayenne pepper

1/4 cup canola oil

Freshly ground pepper

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Parcook the potatoes: Place in a pot of water and boil until fork-tender; let cool. Slice each potato lengthwise into eighths.

Preheat a grill to medium or place a cast-iron grill pan over medium heat. Mix 1 tablespoon salt, the lime zest and cayenne in a small bowl.

Brush the potato wedges with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on all sides (including the skin) and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter; immediately season with the salt mixture and sprinkle with cilantro.
