GRILLED SWEET POTATO “BUN” SLIDERS

I know it’s only Monday, but hopefully you have some fun Labor Day plans in the works for the upcoming holiday weekend! If any of them include hosting or attending a BBQ, this Grilled Sweet Potato “Bun” Slider recipe would be a fabulous addition to the menu. So much healthier than a regular burger and you’ll be amazed at how delicious the sweet potato “buns” are…trust…you will not be missing a thing!

These burgers are a serious “taste” of summer babes. Look how fresh and gorgeous all the produce is and I made sure to include lots of seasoning in the burgers. Microwaving the sweet potatoes a little before you grill them, cuts down on cooking time and creates a much better “bun”…crispier on the outside and softer on the inside. With so much flavor in the meat + all the delicious veggies, I didn’t serve them with any mustard or ketchup or anything…you’ll have to see what you think, but I thought they were super tasty on their own! So quick and easy to make too! How fast it was to put them together surprised me!

Perfect gluten free alternative this weekend or anytime you are craving a burger. Eating healthier can be delicious and is definitely not about deprivation. When you shift your focus to seeing all the positive things that come from eating healthy food versus fixating on unhealthy food as what you “can’t have”; you notice how much more energy you have, how you don’t get bloated after you eat, how much better your clothes fit and also how much more delicious healthy food tastes! Eating more plants and eating real food is all part of a healthy lifestyle…eat what you love and love what you eat babes! xo

Ingredients
  • For the burgers:
  • 1 pound organic grass fed ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • For the buns:
  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • For the toppings:
  • Tomato. sliced
  • Avocado, mashed
  • Fresh spinach
Instructions
  1. Pre heat your grill on high.
  2. Wash the sweet potato and pierce it several times with a fork. Grab 3-4 paper towels. Soak them with water, then wring out the excess liquid. Wrap the sweet potato in the paper towel and place it in your microwave for 5 minutes. Cook it enough to soften just a bit, but not too much to where it gets mushy.
  3. Remove the sweet potato from the microwave. Allow it to cool. Then gently slice it into 1/2″ rounds for the โ€œbunsโ€.
  4. Brush each side of the sweet potato rounds with olive oil and season with salt. Set aside.
  5. Next, take all the burger ingredients and combine them in a large bowl. Mix until everything is combined. Separate the meat mixture into 8 sections. Form a small slider size patty with each section. Brush each side of the patties lightly with olive oil.
  6. Once the grill is pre heated, turn it down to medium. Then place the sweet potato “buns” and burgers directly on the grill. Cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until they reach the desired level of done-ness. Remove from grill and cover to keep warm.
  7. To serve, top a sweet potato “bun” with mashed avocado, fresh spinach, a slice of tomato, one slider and one more sweet potato round.
  8. Enjoy!

This was such a magical night with such an amazing This was such a magical night with such an amazing group of women! ๐Ÿ’ซ โ 

These moments and pictures don't even come close to capturing the stories, connections + the incredible beauty and energy from the Meditation Workshop I hosted with a group of clients at @archipalegoclub.โ  ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

We explored how to create a meditation practice that WORKS for you! We talked through the whens and wheres, but also really focused on the why and how to build more purpose into a meditation practice.โ 

I think of my daily meditation practice as a powerful tool I use to shift my energy in order to heal, transform, elevate, regulate or show up for my clients, my husband, my son and in my life as the most centered, grounded, present and expanded version of myself! โ 

I truly believe changing your energy is essential to changing anything. โ 
Dr. Joe Dispenza said, โ 
โ€œNobody changes until they change their energyโ€”and when you change your energy, you change your life.โ€โ 

If meditation is just something you are checking off your to-do list, is it really having an impact?? I believe if you are spending the time to do it, it should. โ 

One of the first steps you can take to create a more impactful practice is to define a purpose for your meditation each day. Focusing on the energy or area of your life where you want to shift or change, supports having a more empowered, fulfilling meditation practice. โ 

I'll share more of what we talked about in future posts, but for now, establish where and when you can meditate and imbue it with a purpose. 

Feel free to DM me or ask questions below! I would love to help you work through any obstacles you have! xoโ
