Author: Meatless Makeovers
Recipe type: Entree
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 3 Cups Shredded Sweet Potato (2-3 Whole Potatoes)
- 1 Red Onion (Chopped in Thin Wedges)
- ½ Cup Red Cabbage (Shredded)
- 1 Jalapeno (seeds Removed and Chopped
- ½ cup BBQ Sauce
- 2-3 Sprigs of Fresh Cilantro (Stems Removed)
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2-4 Hamburger Buns (Gluten Free if Desired)
Instructions
- Wash and prepare all produce. We recommend a mandolin for shredded the sweet potato if you have one because it is much faster. But if you don’t have one, either a julienne peeler or cheese grater will get the job done just at a slower pace.
- Add the olive oil to a large deep frying pan and heat over medium/high heat. Add the sweet potato, onion, and jalapeno.
- Cook for about 5 minutes stirring frequently until the onions are translucent and the sweet potato is slightly browned.Next add the bbq sauce to the pan.
- Stir until thoroughly combined.
- Reduce the heat to medium/low and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from the heat and scoop about ½ cup of the sweet potato mixture onto the sliced buns. Top with the shredded red cabbage and cilantro. Serve warm and enjoy!
