Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 8 wedges each
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
For the dressing
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves coarsely chopped, plus more for garnish
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
For the sweet potatoes
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and cook for 7-10 minutes or until just tender.
- Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium high heat.
- Drain the potatoes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat.
- Place the sweet potatoes on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until browned.
For the dressing
- Place all the dressing ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk until well combined.
- Drizzle the dressing over the warm potatoes. Serve immediately, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
Notes
- Look for sweet potatoes that are similar in shape and size so that the wedges will cook evenly. I typically use smaller potatoes that aren't too thick.
- This recipe will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you're making this dish in advance, I recommend storing the dressing separate from the potatoes, then tossing them together at the last minute.
