Barbecued sweet potato with gremolata dressing

Barbecued sweet potato with gremolata dressing is a flavorful and nutritious dish that's perfect for your next outdoor grilling session. The sweetness of the potatoes is beautifully complemented by the fresh and zesty gremolata, making it a crowd-pleaser for both vegetarians and meat lovers alike.

Ingredients:

2 sweet potatos
400g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1/2 bunch fresh parsley
27g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
2 tbsp lemon juice
10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your barbecue or grill to medium-high heat.
2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
- Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly.
- Cut each sweet potato into thick slices, approximately 1 cm (0.4 inches) thick for even cooking.
3. Season the Sweet Potatoes:
- Place the sweet potato slices in a large bowl.
- Drizzle the 2 tbsp of olive oil over the slices.
- Toss the slices to ensure they are evenly coated with olive oil.
4. Grill the Sweet Potatoes:
- Place the sweet potato slices directly on the preheated grill.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
- Check for doneness by piercing the sweet potatoes with a fork; they should be soft inside.
5. Prepare the Gremolata Dressing:
- While the sweet potatoes are grilling, finely chop the ½ bunch of fresh parsley and place it in a small bowl.
- Mince the 2 garlic cloves and add them to the parsley.
- Add the 2 tbsp of lemon zest and 2 tbsp of lemon juice to the parsley and garlic mixture.
- Mix all the ingredients together to combine well.
6. Assemble the Dish:
- Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the gremolata dressing evenly over the grilled sweet potato slices.
7. Serve:
- Serve the barbecued sweet potatoes immediately as a delicious side dish or starter.

Tips:

- Choose even-sized sweet potatoes for uniform cooking.

- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure the sweet potatoes get a nice char.

- Use a grill basket or skewers to prevent smaller pieces from falling through the grill grates.

- For a milder garlic flavor, you can roast the garlic before adding it to the gremolata.

- Feel free to add other fresh herbs like basil or cilantro to the gremolata for a different flavor profile.

Barbecued sweet potato with gremolata dressing is a delightful and healthy dish that's easy to prepare and bursting with flavor. Whether served as a main course or a side dish, it's sure to impress your family and friends. Enjoy the blend of smoky sweet potatoes with the tangy and fresh gremolata!
