Smashed burger Sweet potato bun burger

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.

My new go to burgher bun!

Ingredients

🍠

• 300g sweet potato- total weight once sliced into “bun”

• Half tsp smoked paprika

• Salt and pepper

• 6 sprays of 1kcal spray (calories above don’t account for oil cals- track your oils separately)

  
  

🍔

• 250g 5% fat mince

• Half tsp onion granules

• Half tsp garlic granules

• Half tsp smoked paprika

🧀 🥒

• 30g pickled gerkins (15g each)

• 40g grated full fat cheese (20g each)

Method

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

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

Place slices on baking tray- spray with 1kcal spray (or your choice of oil) season with salt, pepper and smoked paprika.

Pop in oven for 30 mins.

Meanwhile, make your beef burgers

In a bowl combine beef mince, onion and garlic granules, salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Mix well. And divide into two burgers.

I pan fried my burgers for around 15 mins- I kept checking regularly. I browned each side and then covered the frying pan with a lid.

Once cooked through I added the cheese and recovered with the lid to melt!

Now build your burgers and enjoy! I added mustard and ketchup and it was delish!
