Grilled Sweet Potato Salad image

Provided by Emeril Lagasse

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 sweet onions, peeled, trimmed, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
2 mangos, peeled, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, stem, rib, and seeds removed, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch cayenne
1/3 cup chopped toasted peanuts
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill.
  • In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, onions, mangos, and bell peppers. Add the oil, lime juice, cinnamon, cumin, nutmeg, salt, and cayenne, and toss well to coat evenly.
  • Lay 2 large pieces of heavy aluminum foil in a stack on a work surface. Mound the sweet potato mixture into the middle and wrap in the foil, turning up the edges to make a tight, well-sealed package. Place directly on the grill and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
  • (Alternately, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the potato-mango package in the middle of the oven and roast until the potatoes begin to soften, 45 to 50 minutes. Uncover and roast until tender and starting to caramelize, 15 to 20 minutes.)
  • Remove from the grill and let cool slightly before unwrapping. Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a large, decorative bowl and adjust the seasoning, to taste. Sprinkle with peanuts and fresh cilantro and serve.

GRILLED SWEET POTATO SALAD

GRILLED SWEET POTATO SALAD WITH TAHINI AND POMEGRANATE SEEDS



Grilled Sweet Potato Salad with Tahini and Pomegranate Seeds image

I love sweet potatoes. I often roast them, but with warmer weather I like to plop them on the grill for smoky flavor. This is my take on a mayo-free potato salad that is just as good warm as it is room temperature, making it particularly convenient if you're having guests.

Provided by Megan Mitchell

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 medium orange sweet potatoes
Coconut oil, melted if solid
Kosher salt
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
Leaves from 5 to 6 mint sprigs
2 teaspoons za'atar seasoning
Freshly cracked black pepper
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium heat.
  • Peel the potatoes, cut them in half lengthwise and then cut each half into long spears about 1/2-by-1 1/2-inches thick. Place on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 to 3 tablespoons coconut oil and sprinkle with a large pinch of kosher salt. Toss to coat.
  • Place the spears on the grill, spreading them out so they aren't touching. Grill until charred and tender enough to be easily pierced with a paring knife, 5 to 6 minutes per side on the grill and 6 to 7 minutes per side on a grill pan.
  • Pile the spears on a platter or place in a large shallow serving bowl. Drizzle with the tahini and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds, mint and za'atar. Finish with some black pepper and flaky salt. Serve warm or room temperature.
