Grilled Sweet Potatoes Recipe
- 2 pounds medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for oiling the grill
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 pinches cayenne pepper
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- Finely grated zest of 2 medium limes (about 2 teaspoons)
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
- Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot of heavily salted water and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until a paring knife can easily be inserted, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Drain the sweet potatoes in a colander in the sink and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a baking sheet or large plate and arrange in a single layer.
- Refrigerate until cool, at least 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.
- Remove the pan from heat, add the cumin and cayenne, and stir to combine.
- Set aside to cool.
- Combine the sour cream, lime zest, and lime juice in a small bowl.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed; refrigerate until ready to use.
- When the sweet potatoes are ready, heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium high (about 375 degrees F to 425 degrees F).
- Meanwhile, halve the sweet potatoes lengthwise.
- Cut the halves lengthwise into 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick wedges and place in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Stir the oil mixture to reincorporate the spices.
- Brush the cut sides of the potato wedges with the oil mixture and season generously with salt and pepper.
- When the grill is hot, rub the grates with a towel dipped in vegetable oil.
- Place the sweet potato wedges on the grill in a single layer and cut-side down, cover the grill, and cook until grill marks appear, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip the wedges to the other cut side, cover the grill, and cook until grill marks appear, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Transfer to a serving platter, dollop with the sour cream mixture, and sprinkle with the cilantro.
- Serve immediately.
