Whole 30No Added Sugar
These sweet potato sliders are loaded with goodies! Taco-seasoned mini burger patties over roasted sweet potato “buns” topped with an easy guacamole, chipotle ranch and crumbled bacon. Perfect as an appetizer, party food or a fun meal! Paleo and Whole30 compliant, family approved!
I posted these on my Instagram stories last week and people went WILD – you guys sure love your sliders!
And hey, I don’t blame you one bit – these LOADED sweet potato sliders are everything I was craving when I made them last week, and pretty much everything I’m craving right now, too.
With roasted sweet potato “buns”, a spicy mini burger and toppings galore, no one is about to complain about these insanely tasty bites.
I guess I have to mention that they, these slider are PERFECT for Super Bowl too! Because it happens to be coming up this weekend.
Not that I like to pay attention or anything – my husband pays enough attention to sports for the entire East Coat in my opinion, so no need for me to mind the “Super Bowl”
But I do like burgers. And tacos. And sweet potatoes and bacon and guacamole! Which is why I don’t mind sharing football friendly Whole30 options with you even if football isn’t my bacon jam (if you know what I mean.)
Anyway, these burgers pack a ton of flavor for how mini they are – and even though they might look fancy all loaded up with toppings in the glamour shots, they’re actually quick and easy to make.
Get your toppings ready to go. I like to have my bacon cooked and crumbled, guac and ranch made already before beginning.
Then, You roast your sweet potato buns while making/pan frying (you can also grill) the burgers, and BOOM – once those sweet potatoes are good to go, you assemble the sliders and load ’em up!
MMM, now I want one! The sliders are also pretty kid friendly too – although the chipotle ranch has a bit of a kick (hence the chipotle) but otherwise, my kids can handle the bit of spice that’s in the burgers themselves.
You can always adjust spice levels a bit to your preference, adding more or less minced jalapeño and chipotle powder as needed.
Between these sweet potato sliders, my crispy baked buffalo chicken wings and BBQ bacon wrapped meatballs, you can have yourself a Whole30 finger food party – football or not – whenever the mood strikes!
Ah, Whole30 – if you feel deprived, you might be doing it wrong! With recipes like this one, Whole30 tastes so right it almost feels wrong. Except not actually wrong, just very, very right. If that makes sense.
I hope you’re hungry and ready for these tasty loaded up sweet potato sliders – let’s go!

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Sliders:
Brush a small amount of the oil on both sides of each sweet potato round and arrange on baking sheet spread apart. Roast for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, flip each one, then continue to roast another 10-15 mins or until soft and beginning to brown.
Meanwhile, combine the ground beef, taco seasoning, chipotle powder, minced jalapeño, garlic, and salt in a mixing bowl. Form mixture into 10 small patties
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and brush with a bit of cooking fat. You can also grill the patties following the same instructions.
Once skillet is sizzling hot, add patties and fry about 2-3 minutes on each side until desired doneness is achieved. Remove to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Guacomole and Chipotle Ranch:
Either prior to beginning or before serving, combine all guacamole ingredients and mash with a fork to combine well.
For chipotle ranch, whisk ingredients together until well combined. Store both covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Assemble Sliders:
Place each sweet potato round on a serving platter and top with a cooked patty. Top each one with guacamole and crumbled bacon, then drizzle with chipotle ranch as desired. Serve immediately - enjoy!
