Halloumi Sweet potato bun burger with sweet chilli mayo

Why I’ve swapped a regular burger bun for sweet potato-

• Sweet potatoes bring fiber, potassium, and vitamin A. A white bun is mostly refined carbs with fewer nutrients.

• Sweet potatoes generally have a lower glycemic load than a white bun, so you’re less likely to get that post-meal crash.

• And this flavour combo is EPIC

Ingredients

🍠

• 400g sweet potato- approx 100g per slice- I used a large sweet potato

• Half tsp smoked paprika

• Salt and pepper

• 
  

🧀

• 180g 30% less fat halloumi

• Half tsp peri peri seasoning

🌶️

• 35g light mayo

• 15g sweet chilli sauce

Method

🍠 Pre- heat oven to 200 degrees. And line a baking tray in tin foil.

Slice your large potato to create 4 x 100g “bun” slices.

Place slices on baking tray- spray with 1kcal spray- season with salt, pepper and smoked paprika. (I have not included oil calories- account for your separately)

Pop in oven for 30 mins.

🧀 Meanwhile, soak your Halloumi for 20 mins.

🌶️ In a bowl combine mayo and sweet chilli sauce and mix well.

🧀 Slice- each “burger” weights 90g in my recipe.

🧀 When your buns are most ready - lightly fry your halloumi- I didn’t use oil. While frying I seasoned one side with peri peri seasoning.

Fry until each side is brown- it only takes a few mins each side.

Now build your burgers and enjoy!
