Maple Dressed Grilled Sweet Potatoes
(Serves 4-6.)

Ingredients:

4 large sweet potatoes
2 tbsp cooking oil (or melted coconut oil - my favorite)
4 tbsp butter, melted
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp brown sugar
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

• Peel sweet potatoes and cut into thin slices lengthwise.
• Place potatoes in a bowl and pour oil in and rub all over so all pieces are well coated.
• Oil the grill grate and preheat grill to medium-low. Arrange the potatoes on the grates in the center of the grill, away from direct flame. 
• Cover grill and cook sweet potatoes until good grill marks appear, then flip and continue cooking; total time about 12 to 15 minutes depending on thickness of potatoes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients.
• When sweet potatoes are tender all the way through, remove to the bowl with maple syrup mixture and toss to coat well.
• Add more salt and pepper to taste if desired and serve immediately.
