Grilled Sweet Potato Salad

By amity

Ingredients

• 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
• 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 11/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, or more to taste
• 11/2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup very thinly shaved red onion

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a broiler or a grill pan to medium-high.

Place the sweet potatoes in a bowl, and add the 3 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well. Then place the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet (or on the grill pan) and broil or grill until nicely caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Adjust the oven to the bake setting and the temperature to 350 degrees F.

Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet (if they've been grilled), place the pan in the oven, and bake until the potatoes are tender enough to easily pierce with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool to room temperature.

Arrange the sweet potato slices on a platter, and drizzle the remaining 1 /4 cup olive oil and the lime juice over them. Sprinkle with the cilantro and red onion, and serve.
