Description
Burger bowls are a delightful twist on the classic burger, featuring juicy beef mince and crispy potato chips on a bed of shredded lettuce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or mixed herbs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2–3 medium potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 500 grams lean beef mince
- Shredded lettuce
- Cheese (dairy-free or regular)
- Pickle slices
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon mustard (Dijon or yellow)
- 1 teaspoon pickle juice (from the jar of pickles)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Mix the spices: In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
- Prep the potatoes: Wash and cut them into chips. Pat them dry using paper towels.
- Coat the chips: Place the chips into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over them and sprinkle half of the spice mix. Mix well to coat evenly.
- Bake the fries: Spread the coated chips on a baking tray. Cook in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 30–40 minutes or in an air fryer for about 20 minutes until they’re golden and crispy.
- Cook the beef: While the chips are baking, heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the beef mince, breaking it apart. Cook until browned. Sprinkle the remaining spice mix and cook until the meat is darkened and any moisture has evaporated.
- Make the burger sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Assemble the bowls: Once the potato chips are done, divide them among your bowls. Top with shredded lettuce, cooked beef, cheese, and pickles. Drizzle with burger sauce and serve.
Notes
For a lighter option, substitute beef mince with turkey or plant-based alternatives. Serve with additional toppings like sliced tomatoes or avocado.
