"I believe this recipe originated on the Betty Crocker web site. It's simple to make on the grill and tastes oh so good. This is a side dish, but during the summer I make it as main dish if I want a meal with no meat or fish. The original recipe specifies yellow bell peppers, but you can easily change that to red or green bell peppers if you want a color that contrasts with the orange sweet potatoes."
