Lightly dressed with olive oil, salt and a creamy sauce, this grilled sweet potato recipe is the super-easy side dish you didn’t know you needed.

Ingredients

• 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1½-inch thick wedges

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

• ¾ cup Greek yogurt

• 4 green onions, ends trimmed, roughly chopped

• ¼ cup fresh dill, plus more for serving

• 2 garlic cloves, smashed

• 10 large fresh basil leaves

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
  

Instructions

• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

• Place the sweet potatoes on a large rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle the potatoes with the olive oil and sprinkle all over with 1 teaspoon of the salt, toss to coat completely. Arrange the sweet potatoes on the grill, cut side down. Grill, turning every 2-3 minutes until fork tender, about 15 minutes.

• Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a blender or food processor, combine the yogurt, green onions, dill, garlic, basil, lemon juice, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth, about 1-3 minutes.

• Transfer the sweet potatoes to a serving platter. Drizzle with the yogurt dressing and top with fresh dill. Serve family style.
