Guava burger with melted cheese and potato sticks

Vegan Cuban Guava Burger with Sweet Potato Fries


Ingredients

Scale

Burger: 

  • Your favorite veggie burger
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • Vegan cheese slices (Chao does a nice job)
  • Guava
  • Potato stix
  • 1/4 c Dijon mustard
  • 2 T Agave 
  • Vegan bun (from your local bakery. Whole Foods 365 brand also works, just double check the ingredients)

Sweet potato fries

  • 2-3 sweet potatoes, washed and sliced into 1/2 in x 2 in thin sticks
  • 1 T cornstarch
  • 2-3 T Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Ice bath

Instructions

Burger: 

  1. Prepare patty according to package directions. I usually bake mine, and add the cheese for the last 5-10 minutes to melt. 
  2. Wrap buns in foil, and put in oven for the last 5-10 minutes. 
  3. Saute the onions over medium heat until they start to brown slightly! Remove from heat and set aside. 
  4. Prepare the honey mustard. Whisk the dijon and agave until incorporated. Taste, and adjust! 
  5. Slice the guava into thin slices (thickness of 2-3 cheese slices). 
  6. Assemble the burger: bottom bun, honey mustard, burger (with cheese), guava, onions, and potato sticks. Enjoy!

Sweet potato fries

  1. Once sweet potatoes are sliced, prepare an ice bath and let sit for 40 minutes until cold. 
  2. Preheat oven to 425 F. 
  3. After 40 minutes, dry sweet potato sticks thoroughly. Toss with cornstarch, then olive oil. Spread out onto a sheet pan. Make sure the fries aren't overcrowded. Touching = overcrowded. There should be a 1:1 ratio between french fries and extra space on the pan. 
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, then flip and bake for another 20-25 minutes, until crispy. 
  5. When finished, season with salt and pepper (if desired). Let cool for 5 minutes, then enjoy!
