Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine oil and spices in a large bowl or plastic bag. Add potatoes and mix around until evenly covered. Place in rows on a baking sheet and place in oven.
Roast for 20 minutes, then use a spatula to flip the potatoes. Roast again until the potatoes are tender and golden-brown, 15 to 20 minutes more.
While fries are cooking, combine meat, garlic, spices, mustard, sauces and egg using a fork or hands.
Once you’ve flipped your fries, heat oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Form meat mixture into 4-5 patties (may be sticky) and add to heated pan carefully. The burgers should sizzle on contact — if they don't, nudge the heat up a little.
Let cook for 3-4 minutes then flip. Then allow to cook for 4-5 more minutes.
Top with greens and onions if desired.
If you’re a vegetarian or into ‘meatless monday’, your burger is a bit different, but your steak fries are the same as above:
1½ lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 c chickpeas, rinsed and drained
⅓ c quinoa
⅔ c stock or water
Salt & pepper
Veggie Burger INSTRUCTIONS
Toss sweet potatoes with spices and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet, bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let cool for 5 minutes.
In a saucepan, combine quinoa and stock (or water), bring to a rolling boil for 2 minutes, then cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes, until water is completely absorbed. Once cooked, remove lid and set aside.
Add cooled sweet potatoes, chickpeas, garlic and worcestershire to the food processor. Pulse until combined.
In a large bowl, combine processed mixture and quinoa into 6-7 patties.
Heat oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. The burgers should sizzle on contact — if they don't, nudge the heat up a little.
Let cook for 3-4 minutes then flip. Then allow to cook for 4-5 more minutes.
