Ingredients

Scale

For the Sliders:

  • 12 medium to large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds (you’ll need about 10 rounds)
  • Avocado or olive oil, plus salt for roasting
  • 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 lbs grass-fed ground beef (85% lean)
  • 2 tsp taco seasoning
  • 1/8 to 1/4 tsp chipotle powder (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 1 fresh jalapeño, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt

For the Guacamole:

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1/4 cup red onion, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeño, minced
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (plus extra for garnish)
  • Sea salt to taste

For Chipotle Ranch:

  • 1/2 cup Paleo mayo (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 tsp chipotle powder
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon or lime juice
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Optional salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Brush the sweet potato rounds with oil and sprinkle them with salt. Spread them out on the baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. Flip each round and roast for another 10–15 minutes until they’re tender and lightly browned.
  3. Make the Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, taco seasoning, chipotle powder, minced jalapeño, garlic, and sea salt. Mix and form into 10 small patties.
  4. Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of cooking fat. When hot, add your patties and cook for about 2–3 minutes per side until they’re cooked through. Keep them warm by covering with aluminum foil.
  5. Prepare the Guacamole: In another bowl, mash together the avocados, red onion, garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, and sea salt until it’s creamy and well mixed.
  6. Whip Up the Chipotle Ranch: In a bowl, whisk together all the chipotle ranch ingredients until smooth.
  7. Assemble Your Sliders: On each sweet potato round, stack a cooked patty, then top with a scoop of guacamole and crumbled bacon (if using). Drizzle with chipotle ranch just before serving.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:
Serve these sliders warm on a platter, garnished with extra cilantro. They pair wonderfully with fresh veggie sticks or a light salad for a complete meal.

Tips & Tricks:
For even cooking, slice your sweet potatoes uniformly. If you love heat, feel free to increase the chipotle powder or jalapeño to kick it up a notch!

Storage & Reheating Instructions:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the sliders in an oven set to 350°F for about 10–15 minutes, covering loosely with foil to keep them moist.
