Honey Lime Barbecue Grilled Sweet Potatoes

By davidv

High in vitamin C and beta carotene, sweet potatoes are nutrient-rich as well as delicious.

Tip: The barbecue sauce can also be used on your favorite grilled meats.

Ingredients

• 2-1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled & sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 tsp lime zest
• 1/2 Tbsp lime juice
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Preparation

Step 1

Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil; add potatoes. Boil until the potatoes are just starting to soften, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow them to cool.

In the meantime, combine the barbecue sauce, honey, lime zest, lime juice, chili powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl.

Preheat the grill to medium-low. Brush the flat surface of each potato with oil. Place the potatoes, flat-side down, on the grill and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, turning once. When the sweet potatoes are soft through the middle and brown on the surface, they're ready. Brush with sauce and serve.
