Looking for a fresh and healthy summer breakfast idea? These Sweet Potato Breakfast Sliders are one of my favorite go-to recipes when I want something colorful, delicious, and a little fancy but still super easy to make. The base is made with roasted sweet potato slices instead of bread, and they’re topped with creamy avocado mash, juicy tomatoes, feta cheese, and a big handful of flavorful microgreens. I used BrightFresh® Micro Arugula, and wow they take things to a whole new level!
This recipe is perfect for brunch parties, summer mornings, or any day you just want to treat yourself to something tasty and good for you.
Method
1. Prep the Sweet Potato
Start by washing your red sweet potato thoroughly and drying it with a clean towel. Using a sharp knife and cutting board, slice the sweet potato into ½-inch thick rounds think of them like mini “coins.” It’s important to cut them as evenly as possible so they cook at the same rate. Once sliced, lay the rounds in a single layer on a baking sheet if using an oven, or directly into your air fryer basket if you’re using that method. These sweet potato slices will serve as your slider “buns.”
2. Roast the Base
Next, it’s time to roast your sweet potato coins. Use a small brush or the back of a spoon to lightly coat both sides of each slice with olive oil. This helps them get golden and slightly crispy. If you’re using an air fryer, set it to 400°F and cook the slices for 15–20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning. If you’re using a conventional oven, roast them at the same temperature on the center rack for about 20 minutes, flipping once. You’ll know they’re ready when they’re tender in the middle and slightly crisp around the edges.
3. Mash the Avocado
While the sweet potato coins are cooking, prepare your avocado mash. In a medium bowl, add the flesh of one ripe avocado. Use a fork to mash it to your desired consistency chunky or smooth, it’s totally up to you. Add in 2–3 tablespoons of finely diced red onion, the juice of one fresh lime, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. The lime juice not only adds brightness but also helps prevent the avocado from browning.
4. Assemble the Sliders
Once the sweet potato coins are done roasting, remove them from the air fryer or oven and let them cool for a minute or two. This cooling step helps prevent the toppings from sliding off. To build your sliders, start by spreading a spoonful of the avocado mash on each coin. Then layer on a few microgreens I used BrightFresh® Micro Arugula for a fresh, peppery bite. Top with a slice or two of cherry tomato, a sprinkle of crumbled feta, and a pinch of everything bagel seasoning for extra crunch and flavor. Finish each slider with a light drizzle of olive oil and an extra squeeze of lime juice if you like a little zing.
5. Serve & Enjoy!
That’s it! Your sliders are ready to enjoy. Serve them fresh on a platter, and feel free to mix and match toppings to your taste. These colorful bites are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even as a light appetizer.

1 medium red sweet potato
Olive oil (for brushing and drizzling)
1 ripe avocado
2–3 tablespoons diced red onion
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 package BrightFresh® Micro Arugula
5–6 cherry tomatoes, sliced
2–3 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
Everything bagel seasoning, to taste
Directions
- Prep the Sweet Potato
Slice the sweet potato into ½-inch thick rounds (like little coins). Try to make them even so they cook the same. Lay them flat on a baking sheet. - Roast the Base
Brush both sides with olive oil. Air fry at 400°F for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway. If using an oven, roast at the same temperature until tender and slightly crisp. - Mash the Avocado
In a bowl, mash the avocado with diced red onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Make it as chunky or smooth as you like! - Assemble the Sliders
Once the sweet potato slices are cool enough to handle, add a spoonful of avocado mash to each one. Then top with micro arugula, cherry tomato slices, crumbled feta, a pinch of everything bagel seasoning, and a drizzle of olive oil and lime juice. - Serve & Enjoy!
That’s it! Grab a plate and dig in.
Notes
- Slice evenly Make sure your sweet potato coins are all about the same thickness so they cook evenly.
- Don’t overcook Keep an eye on them! Overcooking makes the slices too soft to hold toppings.
- Cool before topping Let them cool a minute after air frying so the avocado mash doesn’t slide off.
- Assemble right before serving They taste best fresh otherwise, the sweet potato base might get soggy.
Serving Suggestions
- A weekend brunch board
- A light summer breakfast or lunch
- A fun appetizer for guests
- Pairing with eggs or a smoothie bowl on the side
