Scallion Sweet Potatoes Recipes

BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH CHARRED ONION RANCH DIP

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• Pierce the sweet potatoes multiple times with a paring knife or a fork. Place the potatoes along the outer edges of the indirect heat side of the grill. Cover the grill and bake until the potatoes are completely tender, about 1 hour. (If the potatoes are ready before you are ready to serve them, you can wrap them in aluminum foil and they will stay hot for up to 1 hour.)
• Meanwhile, make the dip: Cook the scallions over direct heat, turning once, until charred on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. When cool enough to handle, finely slice and add to a bowl. Mix in the sour cream, parsley, Ranch Rub and celery seeds. Set aside until ready to serve.
• To serve: Split the sweet potatoes down the middle with a knife and spoon some of the ranch sour cream over, letting it melt down into the potato. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
• (Alternatively, you can bake the potatoes in a 400 degrees F oven for 1 hour.)
• Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. Makes about 3/4 cup.
