Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven heats up, wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Spread the sweet potato fries out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat the fries evenly.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden and crispy. Once done, remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.

If you’re using pre-cooked turkey or chicken patties, heat them in a skillet or microwave until warmed through. If the patties are raw, cook them in a skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.

Slice each mini bun in half horizontally. Place half of a cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun.

Top the patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and a lettuce leaf. The cheese will melt slightly from the heat of the patty, adding to the flavor.

Place the top half of the bun on the slider to complete the assembly.

Carefully pack the sliders in your child’s lunchbox. Place a serving of sweet potato fries in a separate compartment or container to keep them crispy until lunchtime.

The sliders are perfect for little hands and make a fun and satisfying lunch. They’re best served at room temperature, so they’re great for packing ahead of time.
