These jalapeño sliders with sweet potato buns are just that and they’ll give you a little mid-day kick.  And did we mention they are gluten free, Paleo and Whole 30 approved!   Prep Time 10min, Cook Time 20 min  

Ingredients

• 1 large cooked Sweet Potato

• 1 pound lean ground beef/bison/turkey

• 1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder

• 1/2 tsp. Cumin

• 1 tbsp. Olive Oil

• Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 425 F. Prepare the sweet potato by washing the outside well then slice horizontally into thick slices.

• Place the sweet potato on a medium baking sheet. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

• While the sweet potato is baking, heat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.

• Place the ground beef in a large bowl with jalapeño, cumin and garlic powder. Using your hands, break up the meat and mix the ingredients together.

• Form the mixture into 4 patties.

• Place on the grill and cook 4 minutes then flip and cook another 4 minutes for a medium-well slider.
