Step 1

Start and warm the BBQ grill in accordance with manufacturer directions.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the sweet potato clean. Slice into 1/2" thick pieces along the width so they turn into little circles. These serve as the 'buns' for the sliders.

Step 3

Mix the ground beef, lavender, oregano and parsley in a glass bowl until fully incorporated. Form into 1/2" thick sliders. Press them a little flat so that they will sit and stay on the sweet potato buns.

Step 4

Place the sliced sweet potato bun circles on the grill for 3-5 minutes on each side depending upon the BBQ temperature. You want them to grill and get a tiny bit soft, but not mushy. Just enough to remove the toughness. You may want to use a little oil (coconut works great) to keep them from sticking to the grill.

Step 5

Place the meatball sliders on the BBQ grill for 3-4 minutes on each side.

Step 6

Once done, remove the beef sliders and sweet potato buns from the grill and let them cool. Place a few baby spinach leaves on each beef slider at this point.

Step 7

While the sliders are cooling you can prepare the dog-friendly condiments if you want to serve them. For ketchup use non-sweetened organic tomato paste. For mayonnaise blend a beaten egg, use a very small amount to mix in with nutritional yeast. For cheese, use a very thin, small piece - it's a picnic after all!

Step 8

Once the sliders have cooled, plate them by placing a burger between two grilled sweet potato buns. Don't forget the condiments if you made them.
