Sweet Potato Veggie Sliders

There’s nothing like a nice day outside where you can spend time with loved ones, enjoy the weather, and cook up a delicious meal, grilled to perfection.

But, for those of us who prefer plant-based meals, the grill isn't always the first place we turn. This holiday, we challenge you to swap out traditional flame-kissed meals with delicious and easy-to-make veggie-packed alternatives that are super easy to grill up and enjoy.

This Memorial Day, or any day you feel like grilling, really, flame-cook these sliders made from sweet potatoes instead of meat. Not only are velvety sweet potatoes delicious when grilled, they offer incredible health benefits too — like providing a great source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Enjoy! 

Serves: 6 (or about 2-3 sliders per person)
