SPICY GRILLED SWEET POTATOES
Adapted from Cooking Light. A healthy and different way to eat sweet potatoes, and one of my favorites. Goes well as a side with grilled meats or sandwiches. I like this because it is quick, easy, tasty, and excepting the cilantro I almost always have all the ingredients on hand. On top of all that, it's healthy and low-calorie. What's not to like?

Steps:
- Combine the spices in a small bowl (cumin, garlic powder, salt and red pepper). Mix.
- Put the sweet potato slices in a medium bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat. Sprinkle with the spices and toss to coat evenly.
- Heat a stove-top grill or a large skillet over medium high heat. Remove briefly from heat, coat with cooking spray, and return to the heat. (The original recipe called for a grill, but I just use a skillet.).
- Place sweet potato slices in the skillet, flipping occasionally, so that they are grilled crispy on both sides. They take about 10 minutes to cook as long as they are properly sliced to a thin 1/4-inch thickness.
- When cooked, places in a serving bowl and sprinkle with the cilantro, if using. (The first several times I made this I had no cilantro, so did without. In the meantime I've made it with cilantro a few times, but it is just fine without it if you don't have any.).
GRILLED SPICY SAUSAGE WITH FLORIDA SWEET POTATOES AND PEPPERS WITH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- For the mustard vinaigrette: Add the vinegar, honey, mustard, hot sauce, garlic and lemon juice to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk constantly while slowly adding the vegetable oil. Whisk until fully combined. Taste the vinaigrette and season with salt and black pepper.
- For the sausage and peppers: Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and sweet potatoes and boil until they are almost cooked, but still raw in the center, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool them completely until ready to grill.
- Preheat a char-grill to medium-high heat
- Combine the potatoes, sausages, oil, grill seasoning and bell peppers in a large bowl. Toss carefully until well coated. Grill the sausages, peppers and potatoes until char marks have formed and everything is completely heated through, about 6 minutes.
- Remove and arrange on a platter. Drizzle with some of the mustard vinaigrette. Serve extra vinaigrette on the side.
- To serve, garnish with scallions, parsley and fresh herbs. Serve warm.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Sweet Potatoes: Select firm and smooth sweet potatoes without any bruises or blemishes. Smaller sweet potatoes tend to cook more evenly.
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes Properly: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. If desired, you can peel them before grilling, but the skin is edible and contains many nutrients.
- Create Flavorful Marinade: Experiment with different marinade ingredients to add flavor to your sweet potatoes. Olive oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and honey are all great options.
- Grill at the Right Temperature: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before grilling the sweet potatoes. This will help create a nice char on the outside while keeping the inside tender.
- Flip Regularly: Flip the sweet potatoes every few minutes to ensure even cooking. This will prevent them from burning on one side.
- Check for Tenderness: Insert a fork or skewer into the center of a sweet potato to check for tenderness. It should be easily pierced when done.
