Marinated Grilled Sweet Potatoes - - - these are an awesome change from white potatoes!
Prepare grill with an even heat, letting coals burn down to white hot or heating gas grill on high and then down to low so as not to burn the potato slices. Cut sweet potatoes slices 3/8 inch thick - - thicker and they won’t get done and thinner and they will char quickly (cut them as close to 3/8 as possible).
Prepare the marinade:
1 tsp lime zest
3 tbsp lime juice
¼ C extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
2 cloves minced garlic
1-3 drops Young Living Lemon Essential Oil
Sea salt to taste
Put potato slices in marinade. They are not going to soak it up like a meat would so don’t worry about time length, just coat. Using slotted spoon, transfer slices to grill grate. Turn occasionally and watch them! Baste with the remaining marinade.
Chop up 1 red bell pepper, some scallions, have ready 3 tbsp orange, mango or pineapple juice.
When the potatoes are ready to serve, brush juice of choice on, sprinkle on red pepper pieces and scallions. Serve and enjoy!
