I’m tired of the same old side dishes when we grill for dinner. We usually have corn and baked potatoes. Tonight I decided to try something new at least for myself. Part of the reason that I’m doing this project is that I get bored of cooking the same things over and over. I had a sweet potato and I knew I wanted to grill it so I did a quick search on the interweb and was inspired by this recipe at Bitchin Camero.
Grilled Sweet Potato with Honey-Lime Ginger Dressing
- 1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices
- juice from half a lime
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tsp honey
- ground chipotle chili pepper
- fresh ground pepper
- kosher salt
- chopped cilantro for garnish
Whisk together the lime juice, ginger, honey and fresh ground pepper for the dressing and set aside.
Partially cook the sweet potato slices until tender to a fork. I microwaved them in water for 5 minutes.
Drain the sweet potato slices and sprinkle with ground chipotle chili pepper and kosher salt.
Place on a hot grill and cook about 5 minutes each side.
Spoon dressing over the grilled sweet potato and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro. I think this might be my new favorite side dish on the grill. It was so easy to throw together.
I always think of the sweet potato when it is raining… wow you are make me hungry with this 🙂
Yum, trying this for lunch!
Yay! I hope you liked it. I’ve made two more times already.
