Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Scallions

By Dustin

Ingredients

• 3 sweet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt and black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 scallions, thinly sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Heat grill to medium. Peel sweet potatoes, and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Toss potatoes in a large bowl with oil, thyme, and cayenne pepper; season with salt and black pepper.

Grill potatoes, turning frequently, until tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 20 to 30 minutes.

Return grilled potatoes to bowl; add butter, and break potatoes into large pieces with the side of a spoon. Toss in scallions, and serve.
