\nEvery season is patio time at Candlewood North. So get to the grills and enjoy festive times at our Northridge, CA apartments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you're on a health and fitness mission, you might wonder what you'll do at the barbecue. Worry not! Grilling vegetables and even fruits is very much a thing. Grilled pineapples and barbecue sauce are amazing!<\/p>\n

Right now, sweet potatoes are in season. So, here is a recipe to inspire cooking with local harvests and to help you into the California patio mindset.  <\/p>\n

Grilled Sweet Potatoes in Season<\/h2>\n

This luscious sweet potato dish is high in potassium and fiber and a natural source of vitamins A and C<\/a>. It takes all of ten minutes to prepare and is ready to grill while you enjoy refreshments and conversation. <\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n

2 plump sweet potatoes<\/p>\n

2 tablespoons avocado oil<\/p>\n

2 tablespoons organic brown sugar<\/p>\n

1 teaspoon ground cumin<\/p>\n

1\/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper<\/p>\n

Salt and black pepper as desired<\/p>\n

Instructions<\/h3>\n

Cut the sweet potatoes into cubes, about 1 inch square, then cut again into 1\/2-inch cubes.<\/p>\n

Preheat the patio grill to medium-high level.<\/p>\n

Divide your potato cubes into four foil boats and divide up the avocado oil to top them off.<\/p>\n

Sprinkle the brown sugar, cumin, the two kinds of pepper and the salt over the cubes as well.<\/p>\n

Fold up the corners of the foil boats to form closed pouches for the barbecue grill. <\/p>\n

Place on the preheated barbecue grill. Cook, moving the pouches every few minutes, to cook the cubes evenly.<\/p>\n

Continue the grilling up to 30 minutes, until the potato cubes become tender and thoroughly cooked.<\/p>\n

And for the Protein<\/h2>\n

For a health-conscious and hearty accompaniment, why not try a farro salad? Farro is a high-protein dish<\/a>. It's fantastic when cooked and mixed with diced artichoke and red pepper, sliced olives, and a light oil and vinegar dressing.<\/p>\n

Serve it hot or cold.<\/p>\n

Sharing Is Caring!<\/h2>\n

When enjoying good times on the patio at our beautiful Northridge, CA apartments<\/a>, invite your friends to enjoy the patio. As a matter of fact, we hope they come home to the Candlewood North Apartments.
