Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Dilly Sauce

It’s summer – stay out of the oven. As much as we love soft, caramelized roasted sweet potatoes, we don’t want to turn our entire home into a fiery inferno for dinner. Instead, we suggest you toss those ‘taties on the grill. The hot dogs have already started, so why not? Add a refreshing dill dipping sauce to the mixture and you’ll never look back. (Side note: If you don’t like dill, try basil, parsley, cilantro or basically any other soft herb.)
