Chipotle Molasses Grilled Sweet Potato

When you are out back grilling, getting a side dish together inside the kitchen can be a trick. Here's one you can finish where you are grilling!
2 large sweet potatoes, cut on a bias, 1/4-inch thick
1/2 tsp chipotle powder
1/2 tsp cumin
2 tsp molasses
freshly grated nutmeg
2 tsp fresh (or 1 tsp dried) rosemary
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp coarse salt
freshly ground pepper

Heat grill to medium. Toss all ingredients into a bowl to mix well. Turn into a glass bowl or casserole and microwave for 4 minutes. Remove from microwave and grill potato slices on one side, about 3-4 minutes, until good grill marks appear. Flip and cook on other side another 3-4 minutes. Finally, flip and cook on first side again, until potatoes are cooked through, about another 3-4 minutes. Watch carefully so slices do not burn - the sugars in the molasses can burn quickly.

Goes great with steak!
