Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings 6 sliders
Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato choose a long and not too thick one, about the diameter of the slider buns
- sea salt & black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- a few shakes Italian seasoning mix
- paprika & sea salt
Sliders:
- small slider buns use gluten free, whole grain to preference
- avocado slices
- tender spinach or lettuce
- (chipotle) mayo
Instructions
-
Preheat your BBQ to a medium-high temperature.
-
In the meantime, peel the sweet potato and cut it into 1/4 inch thick slices. Toss with olive oil, sea salt and pepper.
-
Prepare the glaze by combining olive oil, lime juice, Italian seasoning, paprika and salt.
-
Place the sweet potato slices on the BBQ and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side. They should have nice grill marks, but watch out not to burn them.
-
Brush the glaze over the grilled sweet potato slices. You can also toss everything, but I found I got better 'coverage' with brushing.
-
If you are using the grilled sweet potato in sliders, spread a little spicy mayo on both of sides of the slider bun.
-
Layer greens, avocado and 2-3 grilled sweet potato slices on each slider. Enjoy while hot!
