Ingredients
- 1/3 cup orange marmalade
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 lb dark-orange sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 8 pieces
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 lb pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small zucchini, cut into 8 slices
- Onion and garlic to taste
- 1 green bell pepper

Instructions
- Heat gas or charcoal grill. In 1-quart saucepan, heat marmalade, rosemary and salt to boiling, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; set aside.
- In 1-quart microwavable bowl, place sweet potato pieces and water. Cover loosely with microwavable paper towel. Microwave on High 2 to 3 minutes, stirring once, just until potatoes are tender (do not overcook). Drain sweet potatoes; rinse with cold water.

This sounds delicious! I really like kabobs but I have never thought to grill sweet potatoes. I bet that is really good. Pinning!
Thanks Rachel for commenting. I had grilled sweet potatoes at my sister’s house and they really stayed moist. She brushed a bit of brown sugar on them and they were to die for!
