I’m a huge fan of sweet potatoes, one of my favorite vegetables, and these sweet potato sliders are delicious! Did you know that sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene, which is transformed into vitamin A in the body. One sweet potato contains 3x’s the amount of vitamin A that we need in a day, awesome! So to get your daily dose of vitamin A whip these puppies up and enjoy them with my favorite watermelon lemonade, a perfect summer dinner!

Even though I’m not a vegetarian I try to cook 1-2 vegetarian meals a week. First of all meat is expensive so it keeps my budget down a bit and second it’s just good to eat more plants. I’ve noticed when I eat a meatless meal I end up consuming a lot more vegetables to fill me up. That increase in good old fashioned veggie nutrients is sure to benefit my body.

I cook vegetables 2 ways- 1st is to roast them in the oven on my Silpat, 2nd is stovetop in my Kitchen Charm by Dinner4Two waterless greaseless cookware. I tend to do more roasting in the fall & winter and more stovetop cooking in the spring, summer. I have a gas oven/range and my oven heats up the entire main floor, so naturally when It’s 95 degrees outside I don’t want to heat up my house. My cookware is awesome because it allows me to cook veggies with a minimal amount of water which means retaining nutrients instead of loosing them in a pot full of water. Ever noticed how green your water is after steaming broccoli? You’re loosing tons of nutrients! You can find out more about waterless greaseless cookware HERE.

Making these sliders is pretty simple. I added all the ingredients to the bowl of my stand mixer and used my paddle attachment to “mash” everything together. I would recommend stopping before it gets to the consistency of mashed potatoes. I would have preferred more chunks in my slider. Because I mashed mine to a super smooth consistency biting into the slider wasn’t as satisfying, it was really soft instead of having a thicker bite.

Once you make the patties you’ll pan fry them in coconut oil for a few minutes to get them nice and golden brown.

I served mine on Hawaiian rolls with slices of avocado, chopped cilantro and garlic aioli. Never underestimate the power of a good condiment. Seriously that garlic aioli is bomb.com friends!

This recipe is a great meatless alternative to burgers, sweet potato sliders are delicious and healthy!
Ingredients:
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1/2 cup drained/rinsed canned cannelini beans
- 2-3 tbsp flour
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 1 tsp pure maple syrup or agave syrup
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Pinch of salt, pepper
- Optional, small pinch of red pepper flakes, if spicy is desired
- 2 TBL coconut oil
- 10 Hawaiian rolls
- 1/2 cup cilantro, lightly chopped
- 1-2 avocados, sliced
- 1 recipe of Garlic Aioli
Instructions:
- Peel, dice, and cook sweet potato until soft all the way through. You can boil, bake or roast them. I love my Kitchen Charm by Dinner4Two waterless greaseless cookware that lets me cook them on the stovetop with only a few tablespoons of water!
- Let sweet potatoes cool down to the point you can handle them. Add beans, flour, tahini, maple syrup (or agave), seasonings and ¼ cup of panko to sweet potatoes. Combine and mash ingredients together. I used the paddle attachment on my stand mixer. I think I mixed them a little too long- it was pure mashed potatoes and I would have preferred more chunks in my patties.
- Form the mixture into 10 patties. Add flour as needed until patties properly form. Coat in panko crumbs.
- In a skillet over medium heat add coconut oil, once melted add your patties and and cook on each side for 6 minutes. You want the panko to turn a golden color. Once done cooking transfer to a paper towel to drain some of the oil off.
- To serve put on hawaiian buns with cilantro, avocado & garlic aioli! Enjoy!
