Grilled Sweet Potatoes

Grilled Sweet Potatoes are a delightful Halal Chinese BBQ dish that combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with a savory marinade, creating a perfect balance of flavors. This dish is simple to prepare and brings a unique twist to your grilling experience.

Ingredients

• Sweet Potatoes - 400 grams
• Soy Sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame Oil - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ground Black Pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Chili Flakes - 1/2 teaspoon
• Green Onions - 2, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch thick slices or wedges.
2. In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and chili flakes to create the marinade.
3. Add the sweet potato slices to the marinade and toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. Preheat the grill to medium heat. If using a grill basket, lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
