Grilled Sweet Potatoes

If you love sweet potato fries, these grilled sweet potatoes will become your new favorite summer side. The smoky char is everything. Be sure to cut the potatoes into 3/4"-thick wedges to make sure they cook all the way through. 

Can you serve them with ketchup? Sure...but trust us, you'll want to make the sauce. The pesto mayo that goes on these sweet potatoes is incredible. If you really want to take it to the next level, you could make your own pesto and reserve whatever you don't use for some pasta.

Use it on all your favorite grilled vegetables. But if you can't get your hands on pesto, you could also whip up a simple mix of balsamic vinegar and olive oil to sprinkle over them. Or, to make things even easier, you could drizzle them with maple syrup!

If you have sweet potatoes they should keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days and frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat on the grill or simply throw them in a 375ºF oven.
