It’s summertime—step away from the oven. As much as we adore soft, caramelized roasted sweet potatoes, we’re not interested in turning our entire home into a fiery hellscape for the sake of dinner. Instead, we propose you toss those ’taties on the grill. It’s already on for hot dogs, so why not? Add a refreshing dill-packed dip to the mix and you’ll never look back. (Psst: If you don’t like dill, try basil, parsley, cilantro or basically any other soft herb.)
