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.
