Sweet Potato Buns

If you’re gluten-free, you might have noticed how most of the gluten-free buns they sell in the stores are pretty dry and crumbly or just too bready. When my family and I went gluten free, we almost always resorted to just having a plain burger without the bun. That is, until I made these delicious sweet potato buns as a substitute!

The Wonders of Sweet Potatoes

Not only are these sweet potato buns gluten-free, they’re also paleo-friendly, better for the digestive system, and chock-full of nutrients! Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C (perfect for flu season!), and fiber. They also contain antioxidants, so they’re great for reducing inflammation!

More Satisfying Than You Would Think

Now, I know what you’re thinking… sweet potatoes could never replace that perfect bun that goes along so well with a nice juicy burger. But trust me, you’ll be shocked at how satisfying these are! I would rather have these sweet potato buns than a gluten-filled bun any day. That’s saying a lot coming from the one who couldn’t ever get enough bread! Give ’em a try and let me know what you think!

Ingredients
  • 1-2 very wide/thick sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • A sprinkle of sea salt

  4. Next, slice the sweet potatoes into ¼” thick rounds and lay them on the baking sheet with the parchment paper.

  8. Place one sweet potato round on a plate, add your favorite toppings (i.e., turkey burger, shredded chicken, mustard, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, etc.. Then, top it with another sweet potato round to make a healthy, grain free burger/sandwich.
