Cilantro Lime Grilled Sweet Potatoes and Peppers

You're going to love this easy side dish for grilled cilantro lime sweet potatoes and peppers. They're tossed in lime juice and olive oil before being grilled and the light smokiness from the grill and poblano peppers balances the acidity nicely. The sprinkling of goat cheese at the end is optional, but it finishes the dish with a velvety flavor, so make sure to use it if you can tolerate dairy!

I love to use the white fleshed Hannah variety sweet potatoes because their sweetness is more mild than the orange colored yam, but either will work in this recipe. Serve this alongside any grilled meat, or specifically with my Balsamic Cilantro Flank Steak!
