Oh. My. God.
This. Was. So. Good.
Check out those killer grill marks
The inspiration for this dish came from my new breakfast obsession:
A baked sweet potato topped with peanut butter, coconut butter, cinnamon, and banana slices. If I’m feeling crazy, I’ll top it with some Greek yogurt, chocolate chips, and/or shredded coconut.
It is so freaking good.
I was actually eating this very breakfast when Jason and I decided to do “battle grilling” for this weeks challenge. Grilling is my specialty.
And with that, a new sweet potato dish was born…
Grilled Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
- 1 pound of sweet potatoes, cut into 1/4 inch thick rounds
- 2 TBS coconut oil, plus more for greasing the pan
- Sea salt, to taste
Directions
- Combine the coconut oil and sweet potatoes in a medium bowl; toss to coat.
- Heat a large grill pan coated with coconut oil over medium heat.
- Add potatoes, and cook for 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Place the sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Season with salt to taste.
Coconut-Peanut Dipping Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 TBSP organic tamari (or soy sauce)
- 2 TBSP creamy peanut butter
- 1 TBSP rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 tsp organic brown sugar (or honey)
- 1/8 tsp salt
Directions
- In a small saucepan, add the tamari, peanut butter, rice wine vinegar, crushed red pepper, paprika, coconut milk, honey, and salt.
- Turn the heat to medium and stir until the ingredients are well mixed and the mixture starts to boil.
- Simmer for 5 minutes.
If it was socially acceptable, I would drink that dipping sauce like it was a hot summer day.
Wait, since when do I care what people think?
Someone hand me a straw…
You know what to do next!
Head on over to Jason’s post to see what he cooked up this week. Then, head back over here and vote for your favorite!

Want. Want. Want. Now. Now. Now.
Yum! I love to make grilled sweet potato quesadillas. I can’t wait until it warms up enough here to grill regularly.

Whenever I try to grill potatoes they always end up burned on the outside and raw on the inside. I will have to try this and follow your directions. I hope it works cause this looks amazing!
Ooo! This looks amazing!
Sign me up!

I think I could drink that, too. Looks amazing!!! I do believe I will be picking up some sweet potatoes this weekend at the store

Definitely eating a sweet potato for lunch now. Wish I had the rest of the ingredients on hand for the sauce, but sweet taters are pretty awesome on their own too!
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine recently posted..Pimp That Snack!
That looks amazing!! I haven’t really done too many recipes with sweet potatoes. This definitely needs to be bookmarked.

WOW! That sweet potato dish looks fierce! They were perfectly grilled! I’m not sure how Jason can compete against this dish!

Matt, these sweet potatoes with coconut peanut sauce look phenomenal! The sweet potato breakfast you described sounds fantastic as well – I must make both

I tried sweet potatoes along time ago, but didn’t really like them! However these look AMAZING! Plus peanut butter makes everything taste good! Oh btw I saw on your facebook that you are from southlake… So am I!
Small world….

Holy COW– looks amazing, everything! Way to go, I knew you’d impress me in the coconut- sweet potato end, as you know I’m obsessed with the two:)
I’m SO making this when I find some time. It probably wouldn’t fill me up as a meal, but a snack? Yes, please. I’m sure the coconut- peanut dipping sauce would be amazing a a salad dressing or stir- fry sauce. In fact, I may be trying that combo….
Hands down. You did well.

Those look amazing! An appetizer at your future restaurant, perhaps?
Also, that breakfast sweet potato you described sounds incredible – I am going to try it!!
Glorious! Haha yes, drink up
Niiiiice. What if you used coconut peanut butter in the dipping sauce?
You had me at sweet potatoes and peanut butter! That dips sounds amazing. And no one would blame you if you took a straw to the sauce. Totally acceptable!

Those grill marks are a beautiful thing! Oooh, I bet they’re so soft on the inside… feed me!

I have never made sweet potatoes this way *hangs head in shame* I really need to, and I really NEED that sauce to go with!
Happy weekend Matt!!!!!!

Matt I seriously thought that that photo was like a stock photo. Those look amazing! I’m seriously addicted to sweet potatoes.

I just had to vote for you, Matt! While Jason’s looked really yummy too, I loved that you didn’t use any fake stuff. This simply looks amaaaaaaaaazing!
This looks delicious, but between my housemate and I, we’re allergic to two of the ingredients. Think I’ll be having a play with substituting the peanut butter for almond (her), and the paprika for… well, something (me).
Neysa recently posted..Jam packed week with Rhubarb Jam
That looks amazing! I love, love, love the ingredients you put together to make the sauce. Must. Try. This.
Sarah (Running To Slow Things Down) recently posted..one- two- three…
This looks incredible! I’ve got to try that dipping sauce :] And you’re making me really eager to start grilling this summer.

Yum. I want this now!
This looks so delicious! I’ve been known to drink peanut sauce before too:)
BroccoliHut recently posted..The Lure of Packaging
Um as far as I’m concerned that’s totally socially acceptable. and if the rest of society disagrees we’ll just have our own party and drink peanut dipping sauce and stuff ourselves with sweet potatoes
sounds lovelyt o me!

Hehe, when I first skimmed this post, I was SOOOO excited about the recipe and oh- so amazing photos, that I didn’t really read the post. But now that I’m coming back to it and actually taking the time to read it, I cannot stop laughing. Your sense of humor is extremely hilarious.
By the way, well done. This looks truly amazing, bud.
WOW Bookmarking this! I’ll be the hit at the summer BBQs
