What goes well with pulled pork sliders?

I think they go pretty well with a salad or french fries. If you’re eating Whole30, make sure your sides are compliant!

What else can I put on pulled pork sandwiches?

There are so many toppings to choose from! You can add bacon, banana peppers, or jalapenos to name a few.

What kind of cheese can I put on these sliders?

Cheese is not Whole30 compliant, but if you’re not following the diet, you can add a slice of provolone, cheddar, or jack cheese! Even pepper jack would work for a little spice.

Instructions

Sweet Potato Buns and Pork

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with olive oil cooking spray.
Slice your sweet potatoes in 1/4-1/2 inch round. Arrange in a single layer on your parchment paper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden brown, flipping them halfway.
Heat a dutch oven or skillet on medium heat with olive oil.
Add your pulled pork, and sprinkle with a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the pork until it is a little crispy. Remove and set aside.

Coleslaw

Add your coleslaw mix to a large bowl.
Add the ranch, juice of 1/2 lemon, apple cider vinegar, and salt/pepper. Mix with a spoon until combined.

Notes

Mac’s Pro Tips

If you’re not Whole30 or don’t mind the bread, you can always sandwich these pulled pork sliders between Hawaiian rolls, hamburger buns, or regular dinner rolls.
I use the Member’s Mark pre-made Pulled Pork from Sam’s that is clean ingredients. If you want to make your own pulled pork, I have two fabulous recipes! This Crockpot BBQ Pulled Pork or this Smoked Pork Shoulder. Both will work great!
I don’t coat the sweet potatoes in any melted butter, but if you’d like to do this, you can use ghee (Whole30 compliant).
Feel free to use Primal Kitchen’s or The New Primals BBQ sauce for Whole30 if you don’t want to make your own.

Serving Tips

I usually make these for a fun Friday night meal and serve them with a side salad. They can be enjoyed with a side or just eaten as an appetizer.

Storage Tips

Store leftover ingredients unassembled in airtight containers for up to 3-4 days. Reheat the pork and sweet potatoes in the oven or a skillet, then top with the cold coleslaw.
