Ingredients:

  • 4 large sweet potatoes, pierced with a fork
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 0.5 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Grated zest and juice of half a lime
  • 1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped

Preparation:

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Microwave the sweet potatoes until just beginning to soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, then slice into 1/2-inch-thick rounds.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, cumin, chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of ground black pepper. Add the sweet potato slices and toss gently. Transfer to the grill and cook until crispy and charred, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter.
  3. In a bowl, combine the cilantro, remaining 1/4 cup vegetable oil, lime zest and juice, and jalapeño; season with salt to taste. Thin with more lime juice if needed. Drizzle the dressing over the roasted sweet potatoes.
