Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Place the sweet potato wedges on a large rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Toss well to coat.
Arrange the sweet potatoes cut side down on the hot grill. Cook for about 15 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes until fork tender and charred.
While the potatoes grill, prepare the yogurt dressing. In a blender or food processor, combine Greek yogurt, green onions, dill, garlic, basil, lemon juice, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth (1–3 minutes).
Transfer grilled sweet potatoes to a serving platter. Drizzle with yogurt dressing and garnish with extra dill. Serve warm.
