PIN Cajun burger with sweet potato bun
After 4 years of blogging, in the eyes of Mr. FFF I finally reached the "VIP champion of kitchen status".
As I told you in the Cajun Cauliflower Casserole and the Cajun Cauliflower Tater Tots Casserole, Mr. FFF is obsessed with Cajun food and ALWAYS asks me to prepare recipes with a Cajun flavor.
When I do that, I make them from ALL vegetables and it doesn't make him so happy, except that I made it Cajun Instant Pot Chili once.
I don't think he imagined cauliflower when he suggested these things to me.
BUT, since he graduated – and lived – from the nurse anesthetist school, I've decided to surprise him with CAJUN + BEEF.AKA: The tune to which his fun-loving Cajun food-addicted heart beats.
I mean, let's ignore the fact that all I had to do was sneak in vegetables in the form of a SWEET POTATO BUNNO (!!!), but can we be mad at it? I mean they're still carbohydrates AND they're about eleven billion times more delicious AND nutritious than a bun. At least this time I made him a "bun" and didn't serve him a burger in a bowl, did I?
No bun? No problem!
I love a good burger. In spring and summer I only want to grill with Mr. FFF and burgers are always a place to go! I am such a fan of all types of burgers and I am also all for creativity to keep my burger game strong! Therefore, I will introduce you to a new type of bun: my sweet potato bun recipe! If you didn't know, sweet potatoes are my jam – whether I cook something Mexican sweet potatoes baked twice or Incorporate into a delicious dessert like Gluten-free sweet potato cake barsI always have them on hand. You won't even miss the bun on these burgers because the sweet potato buns are absolutely delicious.
How to make sweet potato buns from scratch
It's not as difficult to prepare these delicious and unique buns for your burgers as you might think! Sweet potatoes bring the taste and texture of their own accord, with a little help from some olive oil and salt! How it works:
disc
Use a sharp knife to cut 8 slices from the center of your sweet potato. It is the thickest part, the largest and the best Sweet potato bun.
microwave
Place your sweet potato slices in a large, microwave-safe bowl and add a splash of water to the bowl. Microwave until the sweet potatoes soften, which should take about 2 minutes. After heating, drain the water and pat each slice dry with a paper towel.
grill
Brush each side of the sweet potato slices and grill until you get nice marks. This should take about 4 minutes. Turn over and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until cooked and soft but not mushy.
Enjoy
Top each sweet potato bun with ketchup, vegetables and a burger and finish with the rest of the sweet potato bun. Devour!
