Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes

8 slices of crispy bacon, cooked until golden

1 cup fresh arugula or baby spinach

1 medium ripe tomato, thinly sliced

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

8 small slider-sized buns (adjust quantity based on the number of sweet potato slices)

Optional: Sliced pickled jalapeños for an extra kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Start by washing the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Slice them into rounds about 1 inch thick. In a mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring they're evenly coated.

    Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the seasoned sweet potato slices in a single layer. Roast them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Flip the slices halfway through the cooking time until they are tender and have developed a beautiful caramelization on the edges.

      Prepare the Sauce: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Mix well until smooth and set aside for later use.

        Assemble the Sliders: Once the sweet potato slices are roasted and have cooled slightly, it's time to assemble your sliders. Spread a layer of the mayo-Dijon sauce generously on the bottom half of each slider bun.

          Layer the Ingredients: On top of the sauce, place a roasted sweet potato slice on each bun half. Add a couple of pieces of crispy bacon, followed by a slice of fresh tomato and a handful of arugula or spinach. For those who crave a little heat, top with a few slices of pickled jalapeños.

            Complete the Sliders: Carefully place the top half of each bun onto the layered ingredients. If desired, secure each slider with a toothpick to keep everything in place.

              Serve and Enjoy: These mini sliders are best served warm, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. They make for a delightful appetizer or a light meal that everyone will love!
