Step 3

Slice the sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch thick rounds or lengthwise into 1/2 inch thick slabs, depending on your preference.

Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the sweet potato slices.

Step 7

Place the sweet potato slices directly on the grill grates.

Grill the sweet potatoes for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until they develop grill marks and are tender when pierced with a fork.

Once cooked, remove the sweet potatoes from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.

Drizzle the fresh lime juice over the grilled sweet potatoes.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
