Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Chipotle Honey Lime Butter
Ok, so after my sweet potato post last week I have been wanting to make Sweet Potatoes. I mean did you see those recipes? They all looked awesome, right? {if you missed it, here is the Sweet Potato Recipe Roundup}
I am always looking to create another grill recipe, I pretty much have a love affair with my grill! So with my desire for sweet potatoes and love for grilling why not throw those sweet potatoes on the grill, seems logical to me. The only thing I was nervous about when making this side dish was making sure that I didn’t end up with a mess on the grill because the sweet potatoes stuck or that they ended up crunchy because I didn’t cook them long enough. Let’s face it, no body likes a mess or a crunchy potato. So in order to ensure optimal sweet potato success, I loaded those potatoes with olive oil and coated the grill as well. So, mess was avoided. Unfortunately, my sweet potatoes did come out a little crunchy. I think I had the grill up to high so I had to turn them earlier than needed. Be sure your grill is at medium to medium high heat so that you can grill each side for 4-8 minutes. The Grilled Sweet Potatoes were still delicious despite their crunchiness. {I actually just threw them in the microwave to cook them a little more and they were perfect.} Top it off with the sweet and spicy Chipotle Honey Lime Butter, and you will be one happy camper with a healthy side dish!
Grilled Sweet Potato Recipe
To get started, peel 3 large Sweet Potatoes.
Next, cut them into 1/4″ slices.
Preheat the grill to medium high heat. Generously season sweet potatoes with 3 Tablespoons of olive oil and salt.
In the meantime, make your Chipotle Honey Lime Butter. Set aside.
Place Sweet Potatoes on oiled grill. {I used olive oil cooking spray, but your could brush the grates with olive oil}
Grill each side for 4-8 minutes {depending on thickness}.
Generously brush the top of the sweet potatoes with the Chipotle Honey Lime Butter while still on grill.
Remove from grill and finish off with 2 Tablespoons of freshly chopped Cilantro.

Yummy!!! I am so boring, I usually just cook my sweet potato in the microwave. I will definitely give this a try the next time we barbecue 🙂 Thank you so much for joining us and sharing at Best of the Weekend! Pinning to our party board. Enjoy a happy weekend and please join us next Friday.
I don’t know about boring, you have some pretty fancy recipes over at your place too! Thanks for the sweet comments and stopping by Lisa. 🙂
I love sweet potatoes too and these look incredible! Plus the pictures are yummilicious! Have a wonderful weekend!
haha.. well they tasted yummilicious as well! 🙂 Have a great rest of your Sunday Serena!
Love how easy and simple…but very classy this dish is! I love my grill, too! I’m a charcoal girl…low and slow. So, if I’m putting anything on (meat), I have to start the whole process by 10 am. But, with your creation here– it’s perfect to throw on right before it’s time to eat! Pinning! (Love the long pics– especially for pinning!)
I use to be a charcoal girl too, thats how I was raised. But I’m also impatience and love the convenience of turning the grill on and throwing the meat/vegetables/what not on the grill 3 minutes later. But, nothing can beat that charcoal taste. 🙂 You and your boys will love this dish! Thanks for the sweet comments!
These look so easy to make and delicious!! I am loving the butter and the added kick 🙂
It is super easy, and the butter is definitely the star in this dish. You will LOVE it! 🙂
I’ve been wanting to do this for a while! Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite things and they must be so delicious with a smoky flavor. Pinning!

Absolutely Barbara, I hope you love it! The sweet & spicy combination is awesome! Have a great rest of the day and enjoy your weekend!
I work with sweet potatoes a lot, but I have never sliced them that way and placed them on the grill like that! Totally doing this recipe this weekend! Great timing!
I guess we must just be on the same wave length. 🙂 Hope you enjoy this different take on sweet potatoes Tahny! 🙂
This sounds delicious and I totally want to try the butter on corn on the cob! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Happy Blogging!
