Sweet Potato Veggie Burger Sliders

Creative plant-based burger with sweet potato buns featuring Hilary’s Eat Well veggie burgers. Stack everything up for a gluten-free and vegan slider!

The yoga studio I go to is a solid 30 minute drive, sometimes more if there’s any traffic.

Many evenings I’m that girl, running up the steps to the studio lugging my heavy Manduka yoga mat and a water bottle under one arm.

I put on the brakes right before entering the studio so I can maintain some semblance of being a zen yogi, ready for practice.

I don’t think I’m fooling anyone.

I always emerge from my practice and the hot hot room fan hour later calmer, clearer, chill-er, oh, and HUNGRY.

On the walk down to the car I quickly assess the leftover situation and then get Dan on speed dial to ask him to preheat the oven to 400, please.

These Hilary’s Sweet Potato Sliders are currently my go-to post yoga noms for a quick plant-based meal that’s fun, filling, and FAST.

If you follow me on Instagram you’ve probably heard me rave about Hilary’s Eat Well burgers before.

Their veggie burgers are my favorite fuss-free meal-base anytime I need a hearty mix of whole foods without all of the prep.

Lately I’ve been all about pairing them with fresh steamed asparagus and oil-free baked sweet potato rounds.

I like to drizzle a little tahini and add sliced avocado for healthy fasts and flavor!

I had a rhythm going, guys.

Pierce a sweet potato, an asparagus spear, and a chunk of veggie burger, dip in avocado and tahini, and nom.

(Because I like to get a bit of each flavor with each bite.)

But WAIT, I thought.

I could totally make a sandwich out of this.

Have you ever tried Sweet Potato buns, hun?

I’m not really a big bread person these days.

Who’s to say I won’t come back loaf life, but for now, I’m feeling great getting my complex carbs and whole grains from sources like sweet potatoes and Hilary’s Eat Well burgers (that are 100% gluten-free!).

I love using juicy sweet potato rounds as the “bun” for this slider.

They hold everything together (well, for the most part) while adding sweet juiciness!

If messy sandwiches aren’t your thing, it’s OK, you’ll still love this combo plated.

I’ll be the first to admit that my sliders don’t always look this pretty after yoga class, but the combination is always satisfying.

Enjoy these Hilary’s Sweet Potato Sliders for a quick creative plant-based meal that’s totally allergen and gluten free.

It can almost count as a one-pan meal because the sweet potatoes roast effortlessly next to the Hilary’s burgers on the baking sheet.

Try throwing your asparagus on the baking sheet in the last 10 minutes instead of steaming to make a completely one-pan meal plus condiments.

For toppings, I chose shredded kale, sliced avocado, juicy heirloom tomato, and my lemon tahini dressing.

Feel free to get creative with the toppings and don’t be afraid to get a little messy!

Namaste home and eat my Sweet Potato Sliders, mmkay?

Description

Creative plant-based burger with sweet potato buns featuring Hilary’s Eat Well veggie burgers. Stack everything up for a gluten-free and vegan slider!

---

Ingredients

• 1 package your favorite Hilary’s Eat Well Veggie Burger (I used the Black Rice Burger)
• 1 large sweet potato (the wider the better!)
• 1 heirloom tomato
• handful of kale
• 1 small bunch asparagus
• 1 batch of lemon tahini dressing (or sub plain runny tahini– I love this for a quick dressing!)

---

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Scrub one large sweet-potato and slice width-wise into 1″ thick rounds to create your sweet potato “buns”. Place rounds on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip the sweet potato rounds with a spatula and move them closer together so there’s space on the baking sheet. Add your Hilary’s Eat Well burgers of choice to the pan.
3. Bake for about 15-20 more minutes, flipping your veggie burger once halfway*. The sweet potato “buns” are done with fork tender, browned, and starting to ooze a bit.
4. Remove from the oven and set aside.
5. Prepare your asparagus while the sweet potato buns and burgers are baking by steaming in a steamer basket over boiling water for 2-3 minutes, until vibrant green and fork tender. Drain and set aside.
6. Prepare the tomato, kale, and lemon tahini dressing, if you don’t already have a batch prepared.
7. To assemble the Sweet Potato Sliders, grab a sturdy sweet potato “buns” and top with shredded kale, 4-5 asparagus spears, one veggie patty, sliced heirloom tomato, and lemon tahini. Place another sweet potato round on top and smash down lightly with your hand.
8. Serve immediately with any leftover asparagus and sweet potato rounds on the side. It’ll be messy but delicious!

Notes

*I like my burgers to be really crispy for these sliders, but if you prefer a softer patty, remove from the oven after 10 minutes, flipping once halfway.
