Healthy Burgers with Sweet Potato Buns Recipe – Whole30 Recipe

January 26, 2018 by Megan Porta 4 Comments

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

These delicious burgers are made healthy by using sweet potatoes instead of buns! They are Whole30 compliant and will satisfy your every dinner-table desire.

I’ve made it to Day 12 of the Whole30 program and I’m still breathing, friends. I still miss my sugar and dream about it every night, but I am loving the foods I am allowed to eat. Who knew it would be so much fun to get creative with meat and veggies?! In between dreams of cake and cookies, I dreamed up these Healthy Burgers with Sweet Potato Buns a few nights ago. I was super happy with how they turned out and DEE-voured two of them in about ten minutes.

If you have a spare ten minutes, be sure to make a batch of this Whole30 Guacamole to top the burgers with. If you’re stretched for time, a few avocado slices will do. Either way, you are going to love this recipe! Whether you’re following the Whole30 program or not, it will become a quick favorite because of its ease, deliciousness and healthiness.

Before I sign off to eat another one of these for lunch (a bit obsessed this week), I want to mention that I’m doing live videos on Facebook twice/week and I don’t want you to miss out! Tune in on Saturdays (1pm/CST) and Wednesdays (3pm/CST) to see some new recipes. This Saturday I’ll be showing you a new healthy snack that complies with Whole30 and next Wednesday I’ll be making a cookies out of my cookbook. See you then!

Enjoy the yummy burgers and have a great weekend!

    This is totally genius! I’ve been gluten free for years and have never thought of doing this! This looks so much better and more appetizing than eating my usual plain, lonely, bunless burger on my plate 🙂
