Sugarcane Sweet Potatoes
- 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle powder or cayenne pepper
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 2-inch chunks
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 2-inch chunks
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 8 (8- to 10-inch) metal or wooden skewers or sugarcane skewers (see Note)
- Heat a grill to medium-high.
- Put the potato chunks in a microwave-safe 2-quart baking dish and add 1/2 cup water.
- Cover and microwave for 5 to 10 minutes, until the potatoes are firm-tender (do not overcook or they will be too mushy to grill).
- Drain the potatoes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, parsley, chipotle powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the mixture over the potatoes and stir to coat.
- Alternate threading the potatoes, bell peppers, and pineapple chunks onto the skewers.
- Grill the kebabs, turning frequently, for 15 minutes, or until a nice brown crust forms.
