grilled sweet potatoes on a plate with greek yogurt, green onions, fresh dill, garlic, fresh basil and lemon sauce
  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  10 min
  • Cook Time:  15 min

Ingredients

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1½-inch thick wedges
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • ¾ cup Greek yogurt
  • 4 green onions, ends trimmed, roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh dill, plus more for serving
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 10 large fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)

Method

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  2. Place the sweet potatoes on a large rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle the potatoes with the olive oil and sprinkle all over with 1 teaspoon of the salt, toss to coat completely. Arrange the sweet potatoes on the grill, cut side down. Grill, turning every 2-3 minutes until fork tender, about 15 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a blender or food processor, combine the yogurt, green onions, dill, garlic, basil, lemon juice, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth, about 1-3 minutes.

  4. Transfer the sweet potatoes to a serving platter. Drizzle with the yogurt dressing and top with fresh dill. Serve family style.
