Healthy Recipe: Grilled portobello mushroom burger with sweet potato fries

 Ingredients for the Grilled Portobello Mushroom Burger:

• 4 large portobello mushroom caps
• 4 burger buns
• 4 slices of cheese (optional)
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 2 tomatoes, sliced
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste

Ingredients for the Sweet Potato Fries:

• 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your grill to medium heat. While the grill is heating up, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for the sweet potato fries.
2. Prepare the marinade for the portobello mushrooms. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Clean the portobello mushroom caps and remove the stems. Using a brush or a spoon, generously coat both sides of the mushroom caps with the marinade.
4. Place the marinated mushrooms on the preheated grill, gill side down. Cook for about 5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and slightly charred.
5. While the mushrooms are grilling, prepare the sweet potato fries. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized fries.
6. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until they are well coated.
7. Spread the sweet potato fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
8. Once the portobello mushrooms and sweet potato fries are cooked, assemble your burgers. Place a grilled mushroom cap on the bottom half of each burger bun. If desired, add a slice of cheese on top of the mushroom. Then layer on lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion.
9. Serve the Grilled Portobello Mushroom Burgers with the sweet potato fries on the side. Enjoy!
