Get Down On This Paleo Burger, With No Regrets!

One of my favorite American food classics is burger and fries. Luckily you don't have to cut them out of your diet if you want to shed a few pounds. In fact you can make a very healthy burger and fries combo at home with relatively low carb and fat content. This Friday I am sharing my favorite open face burger recipe with sweet potato fries.

Calorie and Macro per serving (4 servings total): 287 calories, 12F, 19C (4 fibers), 26P

Recipe:

Ingredients: 16 oz 90/10 ground beef salt, black pepper, onion/garlic powder coconut cooking spray 2 medium sweet potatoes (cut into long strips) 4 medium sized portobello mushrooms (stemmed, washed, and dried) lettuce and tomatoes cinnamon 4 toothpicks

Instructions: 1. Preheat the oven at 392˚F or 200˚C. Pour the sweet potatoes onto a large baking pan, spray with coconut oil, season with cinnamon. Mix very well with hands.

2. Place the portobello mushrooms into another baking pan, season with salt and pepper, and spray with coconut oil spray.

Once the oven is ready, put both the sweet potatoes and mushrooms into the oven. Cook for 30 min.

3. While the mushrooms and sweet potatoes are cooking, season the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic/onion powder, and make 4 patties ( 4 oz each).

4. Cook the patties by grilling or cooking on stove top.

For cooking on stove top (no oil needed): cook one side for 1 min, flip, and cook the other side for 1 min. Repeat until the burger is cooked to your liking.  It takes about 6 mins. to medium. After burgers are cooked, let them rest on a plate.

5. Once sweet potatoes and mushrooms are cooked, season them with salt and pepper.

6. Assemble the burgers: mushrooms/lettuce/tomato/burger and fix the burger with a tooth pick.

7. Serve the burger with sweet potato fries.

Buon Appetito!
