Delicious sliders made with Homemade Ketchup and Sweet Potato buns.

These sliders are a healthy and delicious alternative to your regular slider. I have been cooking from scratch a lot recently because we are currently off gluten in our home. This slider substitute is perfect for food sensitivities because it uses all natural ingredients and is still so tasty! The star of this dish really is the homemade ketchup. It tastes much more natural, and it is nice to know everything going into it. Store bought ketchup can be filled with preservatives, chemicals, and added sugar that you don’t want. Paired with your sweet potato buns, these make tasty, guilt-free sliders! My husband and I each had two sliders because our Sweet Potato Buns were a bit smaller. They were so delicious and will become part of our meal rotation.

Ingredients you’ll need to make Homemade Ketchup:

1 small can or 1/2 cup organic tomato paste
1/3 cup raw organic honey
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 garlic clove minced
1/2 cup onion sliced and diced small

How to make Homemade Ketchup:

In a saucepan on medium high heat, bring all ingredients to a boil whisk together until well combined and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring ever so often. The sauce will thicken and the flavors will blend.
Remove from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, you can transfer to a small jar and keep in the fridge up to two weeks, or freeze it in ice cube trays and use it when you need it.

Making the Sweet Potato Buns:

To make the sweet potato buns, line a big baking sheet with tinfoil for easy cleanup, slice up a large yam (or sweet potato) with the skin on, rub coconut or avocado oil and sea salt on both sides of the cut slices and bake in your oven at 350 for 30 minutes. Let them cool so that they can be hand held like a burger. We made our burger patties small to match the size of the cooked slices of sweet potato. The slices do shrink a bit after they’re baked in the oven.

How to store Sliders with Homemade Ketchup:

Store the Sweet Potato Buns for up to one week in the fridge. The ketchup will last in the fridge for about a month. When you’re ready to create another slider, just heat the buns in the oven, or even the toaster!

Are Sweet Potato Sliders with Homemade Buns gluten and dairy free?

Yes! One major plus to these sliders is that they are gluten and dairy free. Perfect for those with a food intolerance. Just make sure to keep the cheese off!

How long does Homemade Ketchup last?

Homemade Ketchup will last in the refrigerator for up to one month. When stored in the freezer it can last up to 6 months!
