Description
Sweet potato veggie burger sliders with sweet potato buns featuring Hilary’s Eat Well veggie burgers. Stack everything up with your favorite toppings!
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
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scrub one large sweet-potato and slice it width-wise into 1″ thick rounds to create your sweet potato “buns”. Place the rounds on the baking sheet and bake it for 15 minutes. Remove the pan 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.
- Bake for about 15-20 more minutes, flipping your veggie burger once halfway*. The sweet potato “buns” are done when fork tender, browned, and starting to ooze a bit. Remove the pan from the oven and set it aside.
- Prepare the asparagus while the sweet potato buns and burgers are baking by steaming in a steamer basket over boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until it’s vibrant green and fork tender. Drain the asparagus and set aside.
- Prepare the tomato, kale, and lemon tahini dressing, if you don’t already have it prepared.
- 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.
- Serve the burger immediately with any leftover asparagus and the sweet potato rounds on the side. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for a few days and reheat before serving.
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.
