Here in Texas, Barbecue is a way of life. There are tons of BBQ joints in Dallas, and everyone goes crazy for them! Being intolerant to nightshades, I miss out on a lot of fun of BBQ. However, once I started making nightshade free BBQ dishes, I am a changed woman and absolutely love it! These BBQ Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are everything that you love about BBQ all in one easy weeknight dish.

Making simple weeknight dishes while you’re on a Whole30, or paleo/ AIP diet that’s filling and that everyone loves can be challenging at times. I really aim to share a myriad of easy weeknight dishes on Unbound Wellness, and this is another amazing one to add to the bunch!

These BBQ Stuffed Sweet Potatoes can be made in the Instant Pot for quick and easy prep, and they’re packed with both flavor and filling nutrition that the whole family will love.

Instant Pot BBQ Stuffed Sweet Potatoes (Paleo, Whole30, AIP)

The Ingredients

Beef Chuck Roast

Beef chuck roast is what I used in this recipe, but you can easily use something like pork shoulder or chicken.

Bone Broth

This helps keep the roast super juicy.

Sweet Potatoes

I used regular orange sweet potatoes put you can use any variety

Cilantro

For flavoring!

Compliant BBQ Sauce

This is where you can get creative and modify. For AIP, I use this KC Naturals BBQ sauce to make it easy. However, you can also use a homemade AIP BBQ like this recipe, or a homemade Whole30 recipe like this if you’re not AIP. Whatever works for you!

 

Don’t have an Instant Pot? First, I highly recommend one! It has seriously transformed the way that I cook and has saved me so much time. It’s worth every penny, and I would make the decision to get one 1000x over.

But, if you don’t have one, I have included slow cooker modifications in the recipe card notes! It’s so easy to modify 🙂

  5. While the roast begins to cook, set the oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  6. Scrub the sweet potatoes well, rub them in coconut oil, and make a slit down the center
  7. Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 45-60 minutes or until cooked through (cooking time varies depending on the size)
  8. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and set aside
  9. Once the Instant Pot is done and the roast in cooked, carefully quick release the pressure
  10. Remove the lid on the instant pot and spoon out the excess broth (save it for soup… it’s delicious!) and the onion
  11. Pour in the BBQ sauce of choice and shred the roast to incorporate with the BBQ sauce
  12. Stuff the sweet potatoes with the BBQ beef and top with cilantro to serve

Notes

If using a slow cooker instead of an instant pot, follow all of the other instructions and simply set the slow cooker to 8 hours on low! Easy modification 🙂
