Roast Sweet Potatoes: Place your sweet potato slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and massage to coat both sides. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Place in the oven, middle rack, and let roast 10-12 minutes or until firm, but tender.
Sauté: Meanwhile, bring a large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons ghee or oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add 1-2 tablespoons garlic and move around the pan until fragrant, about 10-20 seconds. Add diced yellow and red onions and diced bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, allowing onions to soften.
Brown Beef: Add 1 pound ground beef to the pan. Move around the pan until beef is cooked through, about 5-10 minutes. Drain excess grease.
Combine: Add 3 tablespoons paleo ketchup, 2 tablespoons coconut aminos, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Stir to combine.
Taste and adjust: if you want more sloppy joes more "saucey" simply add additional ketchup and tomato paste. Otherwise, adjust any salt or pepper, as desired.
Serving: place a few slices of roasted sweet potato to a bowl and place some of the sloppy Joe mixture next to it. Top with sliced pickles, pickled onions and a little extra dijon mustard. Enjoy!

Spice it up: you can add in more chili powder or even some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes if you want it spicy!
