If you haven’t put fries on top of your burger, YOU HAVEN’T LIVED!
Especially when it’s sweet potato fries on top of a Spinach Sweet Potato Burger! Perfect flavor combo!
This burger is inspired by a salad that I have (almost) on the daily, which consists of: a bunch of spinach, a baked sweet potato, pistachios and roasted chickpeas. After eating and loving this salad for so long, I decided to make this deliciousness in burger form and, man, am I glad I did!
This burger is so incredibly flavorful, juicy, tender, nutritious, satisfying – basically, all the things you want in a burger!
It’s topped with sautéed spinach, onions, mushrooms and a bunch of Sweet Potato Fries! I highly recommend these toppings for this burger – it’s so yummy!!
