Recipe courtesy Jenss Chang. Serve as is, or with mint and cumin aioli (not in the file).

Ingredients

1 1/2 tsp Salt, plus more for the water
2 Sweet potato, large, washed
2 tbsp Olive oil
3 tbsp Brown sugar
1 tsp Cayenne pepper, plus more if desired
1 1/2 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
1 tsp Cinnamon, ground
1/4 tsp Clove, ground

Directions

Preheat a grill to medium-high and oil the grates.
Cover the potatoes with cold salted water, bring to a boil over medium heat and simmer until a paring knife goes in with little resistance, 25 to 30 minutes. Don't overcook.
Cool them in cold water and drain. Peel and cut lengthwise into about 6 thick wedges each.
Coat with the olive oil, then toss with the sugar and spices. Grill until heated through and caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
