Ingredients
Skewers
- 1 pound sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2” thick half moons
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 medium red onion
Yogurt Sauce
- 1/2 cup whole milk plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For Serving
- 2 cups cooked grains for serving
- Minced cilantro for serving
Instructions
- Place a steaming basket in a large pot filled with ½” or so of water. Bring to a boil.
- Prep sweet potatoes: Peel, trim ends, and cut in half lengthwise. Cut each sweet potato half into ½” thick slices. Add the sweet potatoes to the steaming basket, cover, and cook until sweet potatoes are just-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. The skewer should easily pierce the sweet potato but not cause it to fall apart.
- Transfer the sweet potatoes to a bowl and toss with olive oil, spices, and salt. Let cool enough to handle.
- Light grill to medium heat. Cut onions into pieces similar in size to the sweet potatoes. Alternate sweet potatoes and onion slices on skewers.
- Place skewers on grill and cook, turning occasionally, until sweet potatoes have lightly charred on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes.
- While the skewers are grilling, combine the ingredients for the dressing in a blender. Puree until smooth and there are no large pieces of cilantro.
- Serve skewers over grains with a solid drizzle of the dressing and extra cilantro if desired.
Notes
- Tips & Tricks: The key to these skewers is the consistency of the steamed sweet potatoes.
