Grilled Sweet Potato Fingers

By barbsjustagirl

Ingredients

• Salt and pepper
• 4 sweet potatoes (about 10 oz. each), peeled
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare a charcoal fire, let burn to a gray ash and set grill 8 to 10 inches from coals. (Or preheat a broiler and set broiling rack 8 inches from heat source.)
Cut sweet potatoes in half crosswise, then cut each half lengthwise and then into thirds to form fingers. Each potato should yield about 12 pieces. Place fingers in a large bowl, add oil, salt, pepper and cayenne. Toss well to coat.
Grill or broil fingers, turning often, until partially charred and soft enough to easily penetrate with tip of a knife, about 10 minutes. Remove to a plate and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
