Grilled Sweet Potatoes With Avocado Salsa And Turkey Sausage
Description
This recipe involves slicing sweet potatoes into half-inch rounds, seasoning them with a blend of cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper, then grilling them until fork-tender and slightly charred. The spice rub enhances the natural sweetness of the potatoes while adding warmth and smokiness.
The avocado salsa topping is mashed but still slightly chunky, mixing mashed avocado with fresh lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and salsa of choice, seasoned with salt and pepper. This fresh and zesty salsa complements the smoky grilled potatoes with creamy texture and bright flavors.
To finish, slices of smoked turkey sausage are prepared and added on top, contributing protein and a savory contrast. The resulting dish is well-rounded, combining varied textures and layers of flavor suitable for casual dining, light lunch, or a unique side dish.
Ingredients
For The Base:
- 1 sweet potato medium
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
For The Topping:
- 1/2 cup avocado mashed, about 1 small avocado
- 2 teaspoons lime juice fresh
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced, fresh
- 3 tablespoons cilantro minced
- 1/4 cup salsa of choice
- Pinch salt
- Pinch black pepper
- 1/2 link smoked turkey sausage sliced into rounds
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
- While the grill heats, cut the sweet potato into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Rub the tops with half of the olive oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the cumin, paprika, and chili powder. Sprinkle half the spice mixture over the oiled side of the potatoes and gently rub it in. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the potato rounds, oiled side down, on the preheated grill. Cook for 4 minutes.
Make The Topping:
- While the potatoes cook, place the avocado, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and salsa in a medium bowl. Mash until well combined. Leave a little bit of the avocado chunky for texture. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Once the potatoes have cooked on one side, brush the tops with the remaining oil and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning, gently and quickly rubbing it in a little. Flip the potatoes. Cook for an additional 4 minutes, or until fork tender. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Place the sliced turkey sausage on the grill. Cook for 2 minutes per side, flipping once.
Assemble The Dish:
- Scoop the the avocado mixture onto the center of each grilled potato round with a spoon. Top with a slice of sausage.
- Serve immediately.
