Greek Lamb/Beef Sweet Potato Sliders (Whole30/Paleo, Glutenfree)

Happy Sunday! I love sharing new recipes, especially ones that I really really enjoy eating. These Greek Lamb/Beef sweet potato sliders are the bomb. I’m always the sweet-savory umami girl. I can’t believe fall is just around the corner. Fall is definitely one of my favorite seasons, I also love springtime. As someone who is always cold anyway, I love that I’m going to be able to wear long sleeves and my Bearpaw boots haha. It’s also really nice sleeping in when it is a little chili. I can’t wait to take my kid to the Cider Mill, which we have done every year since her birth. I know this will definitely be different due to this Pandemic. Whew Child, 2020 has been something else, all in all, I still feel pretty blessed.

When you are doing a whole30 there are foods you have to avoid, bread is one of the biggest ones. Most people I feel are addicted to bread, myself included. Whole30 has helped me with that addiction. Sweet potatoes do great as buns. Not only because they are round but because they are healthy for you. They are highly nutritious. High in Vitamin A, protein, fiber, and rich in antioxidants. They are also glutenfree. The best part is they are filling, and when you use it as a bun you won’t need to add fries haha.

I topped the sliders with my marinated onions. I really enjoy using my sweet and tangy marinated onions on just about anything. It is perfect for this type of slider because it is sweet from coconut aminos and tangy from red wine and apple cider vinegar, combined with the baked sweet potatoes and creamy coconut tzatziki sauce, flavor bomb.

I used a mix of lamb and ground beef because it makes it a more flavorful burger, also because Lamb is famous in Greek restaurants. I buy the mix of my favorite meat market. Essentially top it with whatever condiments you prefer, as long as tzatziki remains.

I really hope you enjoy this, make sure to tag, rate, and comment. Thank you.
