barbeque sweet potatoes.

this was a great side to burgers last night. there's two ways to make these - one on the grill & one in the oven. i don't have a grill yet so i used the oven and they turned out just fine, maybe just a little less crispy than they woudl be on a grill. but still oh so yummy! sorry for not having a photo, we were so hungry & ready to eat these that i forgot!

1 pound sweet potatoes, cut into strips
3 Tbsp ketchup (i like reduced sugar, regualr is packed with sugar)
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp yellow mustard
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper

If grilling - spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Heat grill to medium high fire.
Mix together ketchup, worcestershire sauce, vinegar, mustard & pepper in a small bowl.
Brush the potato slices on all sides with sauce. Grill potatoes 5 inches from heat, turning frequently, until browned on the outside & tender when peirced with a fork (about 8 minutes)

If baking - spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray. Set oven to 375 degrees. (If you are like me, you can pre-cook the sweet potatoes in the microwave for about 4-5 minutes to soften & lessen the time in the oven) Mix sauce ingredients. Brush sauce on all sides of sweet potatoes & place onto baking sheet. Bake potatoes for about 15 minutes if pre-cooked, 45 minutes if not pre cooked. You should be able to pierce the potatoes easily with a fork.

I made extra sauce for dipping as well.

POINTS value: 1 point per 1/2 cup.
