Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Lime & Cilantro

A GREAT new twist on the sweet potato side dish. Just don't forget that you should NEVER put them in the blender. I knew better. Blending them releases all the starches and gives you potato glue which makes you gag with the consistency.

This recipe came from Abundant Harvest. This is my new organic weekly vegetable shipment. Love it!

Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Lime and Cilantro

  • 3 sweet potatoes or yams, unpeeled
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 tsp finely grated lime zest
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Par-cook the potatoes by placing them in a pot of water and boiling until fork tender. Mix 1 Tbsp salt, the lime zest and cayenne in a small bowl. Transfer to a bowl, immediately season with the salt mixture and sprinkle with cilantro.
