Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F), about 10-15 minutes, keeping the lid closed.
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into wedges that are about 1½ inches thick. Place the wedges on a rimmed sheet pan.
  3. Drizzle the sweet potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle generously with kosher salt. Toss to coat them evenly.
  4. Arrange the sweet potato wedges on the grill, cut side down. Grill for about 15 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes until fork-tender with a nice char.
  5. While grilling, prepare the herby yogurt dressing by blending Greek yogurt, green onions, dill, garlic, basil, lemon juice, and remaining salt until smooth.
  6. Remove the sweet potatoes from the grill, arrange them on a serving plate, and drizzle with herby yogurt dressing. Garnish with additional dill.
