Ingredients:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes (approx. 700g / 1.5 lbs total), scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds (1.25 cm)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (2.5 ml)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (1.25 ml)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (57g / 2 oz), softened
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (15 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (15 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest (5 ml)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (1.25 ml)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Toss sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Ensure they are evenly coated.
  2. Preheat grill to medium heat (about 350-400°F / 175-200°C). Make sure the grates are clean!
  3. Place sweet potato rounds directly on the grill grates in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred, flipping halfway through.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are grilling, combine softened butter, chipotle pepper, lime juice, lime zest, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl. Mix well until evenly combined.
  5. Remove sweet potatoes from the grill and immediately brush or spoon with chipotle-lime butter. Serve hot.
