Ingredients
  

  • 2 Sweet Potatoes
  • Pinch Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Minced Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon White Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • ¼ Cup Packed Fresh Mint Leaves
  • 1 Red Chili chopped small

Instructions
 

  • Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat to prepare for grilling the sweet potatoes.
  • Wash and slice the sweet potatoes into 5mm thick slices for even cooking.
  • Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the heated pan and allow it to come to temperature.
  • Place the sweet potato slices in the pan and cook for about three minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and achieve a tender consistency.
  • Heat garlic and liquid smoke in a small frying pan over medium heat for 2 minutes, then transfer the mixture to a small bowl.
  • Mix the garlic and liquid smoke with vinegar, olive oil, and chopped chili in the bowl to create a flavorful dressing.
  • Tear or finely chop the fresh mint leaves and incorporate them into the dressing mixture for a refreshing burst of flavor.
  • Season the dressing with salt to enhance the flavors according to your taste preferences.
  • Drizzle the prepared dressing over the grilled sweet potatoes and serve them hot or cold based on personal preference, enjoying the delicious blend of flavors and textures.

Notes

Marinate for Enhanced Flavor: Consider marinating the sweet potato slices in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes before grilling to infuse them with added depth and complexity.
Preheat the Pan Thoroughly: Ensure the cast iron pan is properly preheated before adding the sweet potatoes to achieve a nice sear and prevent sticking, leading to beautifully grilled slices.
