  • 2 sweet onions, peeled, trimmed, and cut into 1/2 in wedges
  • 2 mangoes, peeled cut into 3/4 inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 3/4 inch pieces

  • 1/4 t allspice

Directions

  1. Preheat grill. Mix sweet potatoes, onions, mangoes, bell pepper, olive oil, lime juice, cinnamon, cumin, allspice, salt and cayenne pepper together.

  2. Lay 2 large pieces of heavy aluminum foil in a stack on a work surface. mound the sweet potato mixture into the middle and wrap in the foil, turning up the edges to make a tight, well-sealed package.

  3. Place directly on the grill and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.

  4. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly before unwrapping.

  5. Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a large bowl and adjust the seasoning to taste.

  6. Sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro and serve.
