Instructions:
- Preheat your barbecue or grill to medium-high heat.
- Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly.
- Cut each sweet potato into thick slices, approximately 1 cm (0.4 inches) thick for even cooking.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
