By rsaitz

Ingredients

• Serves 8
• A simple spice rub makes a tasty complement to grilled sweet potatoes. Serve alongside grilled pork, chicken or other vegetables.
• Ingredients
• 4 medium sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds), scrubbed well
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Method
Cover potatoes with cold salted water in a large pot, then bring to a boil. Simmer until slightly resistant when pierced with a sharp small knife, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain well. When cool, slice potatoes lengthwise.

Mix together salt, spices and apple cider vinegar; add oil in a slow stream. Brush this mixture on sweet potatoes.

Grill potatoes on a lightly oiled grill rack over medium heat, until grill marks appear and potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Serve potatoes warm.
