Nestor’s Perfectly Grilled Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 2 large organic sweet potatoes, cut in half lengthwise
- 2 tbsp Organic extra virgin olive oil
- Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
- Fresh cracked sea salt to taste
- Organic salted butter to taste
Instructions: Preheat grill on HIGH heat until remnants of old food and grease on the cooking grates are charred and smoking. Turn the burners off and then brush the cooking grates clean.
In a shallow pan or dish, arrange the sweet potato halves cut-side up. Drizzle the cut sides of the potatoes with the olive oil, and then lightly sprinkle the cut sides with the fresh cracked black pepper and sea salt to taste.
Setup grill for cooking on INDIRECT MEDIUM heat (middle burner turned OFF, side burners turned on to MEDIUM heat). Using tongs, place the sweet potato halves cut-side up on the cooking grates in the MIDDLE of the grill over the burner that is turned OFF). Close the lid and cook for 35-40 minutes, or until the cut sides are caramelized and the potatoes feel soft when squeezed gently with tongs. Remove potatoes from grill and serve hot with butter on the side. (Since the grilled potato comes out of the skin very easily at this point, I like to scoop it all out of the skin and mash/melt butter into it while it is still hot on the plate – yummy!!)

Dinner: For those of us who are a bit ‘kitchenally challenged’ (such as myself) the crockpot is a valuable tool. You can pretty much just dump stuff in it and go on about your day. By the time you go to work, finish errands, play a little PlayStation, and remember that you were cooking something, its time to eat.
