These charred sweet potatoes with honey and olive oil offer a sophisticated twist on a classic root vegetable side dish. By grilling the potatoes in foil before charring the flesh directly over the heat, you achieve a creamy interior contrasted with a smoky, caramelised exterior. The sticky glaze, made from a simple reduction of honey and white wine vinegar, cuts through the natural sweetness of the potatoes with a bright, tangy finish.

This versatile vegan dish works beautifully as part of a summer barbecue spread or as a heart-healthy accompaniment to a festive roast. Using small Japanese sweet potatoes provides a lovely texture, but any variety works well. For the best results, serve them warm on a large platter with a final flourish of flaky sea salt and plenty of freshly cracked black pepper.

How to make Charred Sweet Potatoes with Honey and Olive Oil

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Rub sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil and wrap tightly in foil—you can wrap them on their own or put 2 in each packet. Grill, turning every 5 minutes or so, until tender, 30–45 minutes. Unwrap and let cool slightly. (Or, steam in a basket set over a pot filled with 1" of boiling water 30–35 minutes. If not using right away, let cool, then cover and chill until ready to grill—up to 2 days.)

Meanwhile, bring honey, vinegar, and a big pinch of kosher salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high (you can do this on the grill if you want), reduce heat, and simmer until just beginning to thicken, about 4 minutes. Keep warm.

Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Rub cut surfaces with 1 tablespoon oil total; season with kosher salt. Grill, cut side down, without turning, until lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and brush with honey glaze.

Arrange sweet potatoes on a platter and drizzle with more glaze and remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season with sea salt and pepper.
