Name: Grilled Sweet Potatoes
Prep time: 25 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 4 - 6 serving(s)
Ingredients: 2 tbsp. olive oil, plus more for the grill; 2 lb. sweet potatoes (4 small or 3 medium), cut into ½-inch-thick rounds; 2 tsp. kosher salt; 1/2 tsp. black pepper; 4 tbsp. salted butter; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 3 tbsp. soft herbs (such as parsley, basil, mint, cilantro, and/or chives), roughly chopped; 2 tsp. honey; Juice of half a lemon; Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Step 1Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Lightly brush the grill grates or grill pan with oil.

Step 2In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with the oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, and the pepper. Place the sweet potato slices on the grill, cover, and cook until dark brown grill marks form, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip, cover, and continue cooking until the potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a paring knife, 6 to 8 minutes more.

Step 3Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in the herbs, honey, lemon juice, red pepper flakes (if using), and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Step 4Transfer the sweet potatoes to a large bowl and toss with the herb butter. Transfer the sweet potatoes and any remaining butter in the bowl to a platter for serving.
