These sweet potato buns are the healthy alternative to bread! Sweet potatoes have a ton of health benefits and you should jump on the sweet potato train immediately!
I initially got this recipe while searching for a healthy pulled pork recipe but the site I found it on no longer exists. Lucky for you, I am here to share the secret to these tasty little buns!
Pro Tip: When buying the sweet potatoes, be sure to look for round ones because the diameter will be the size of your bun. I have included measurements for the spices in the recipe below but honestly I just sprinkle a little of each spice over the top of the sweet potato slices.
Use the slices as buns for your favorite meat. I personally love them with this pulled pork recipe!
