Grilled Chili Lime Sweet Potato Wedges

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes washed, skin on
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

For the yogurt avocado sauce:

  • ½ cup plain yogurt I used whole milk
  • 1 avocado pit and peel removed
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Poke sweet potatoes with several holes with a fork.
  • Place in microwave and microwave on high for 7 minutes. They should be hot but not completely soft.
  • Make the avocado yogurt sauce while the sweet potatoes are in the microwave.
  • Place yogurt, avocado, cumin, garlic powder, and salt in a food processor and blend to combine. Set aside.
  • Cut each sweet potato in half the short way (so you lay the sweet potato flat and cut it through the middle).
  • Cut each sweet potato half in half the long way (so you place the cut edge of the sweet potato on the cutting board and cut down the middle the long way).
  • Lay the sweet potato quarters down with the skin up and cut into wedges.
  • Place wedges in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and sea salt and drizzle over wedges.
  • Toss to combine.
  • Light grill to medium heat.
  • Place sweet potato wedges in a mesh grill pan (or something similar) and place on grill. Close lid.
  • Grill for ~5 minutes, then toss and grill another 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them to make sure they aren't burning!
  • Serve with avocado dipping sauce and enjoy!
