Grilled Sweet Potatoes and Green Onions
with Honey Dijon Vinaigrette
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch slices
- 8 green onions, trimmed
- 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Place sweet potatoes, green onions and 1/4 cup olive oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal bag; toss to entirely coat potatoes and onions with oil. Preheat grill for direct cooking over high heat. Place sweet potatoes on grill. Cover and grill 2-3 minutes per side or until nice grill marks appear. Reduce grill temperature to medium. Move potatoes to indirect heat; cover. Cook until tender, about 20-30 minutes, flipping once about halfway through the cooking time. Add green onions to the grill about 5 minutes before potatoes are ready. Cook until softened and grill marks appear. Transfer potatoes and green onions to a chopping board. Slice green onions and quarter potatoes. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine mustard, vinegars and honey. Gradually whisk in reserved 1/2 cup olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add grilled green onions and sweet potatoes to vinaigrette. Toss to coat. Serve warm. Serves 4-6.
