Ingredients:

Caramelized onion beet beef burgers:

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 2 eggs
• 2 medium white onions
• 1 medium beet shredded
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• two teaspoons soy sauce or tamari
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil (for frying)

Sweet potato:

• 1 large sweet potato
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Salad (don’t need to measure the veggies!):

• salad greens
• cucumber
• bell pepper
• red pickled onions
• grape tomatoes
• sunflower seeds
• lemon tahini dressing (see below)

Lemon tahini dressing:

• 1/2 cup tahini
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• juice from two lemons
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• pinch of black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon cumin (optional)

Instructions:

For the burgers:

1. Heat up the avocado oil in a pan on medium low heat. Start by caramelizing the onions for 10-15 minutes stirring frequently. Then add the shredded beet, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Cook for another 10-15 min.

2. Add the onion beet mixture to a bowl and cool for 10-15 min. Then add the rest of the ingredients and mix until combined.

3. Fry each patty in some more avocado oil on medium low heat for 4-5 min on each side or until cooked through! (Mixture will still have a pink look because of the beet!)

For the sweet potatoes:

1. Mix all the ingredients together and bake at 425°F for 20-25 min.

For the dressing:

1. Mix all the ingredients together and enjoy!

Notes: Make sure the water is cold because it will make the tahini mixture creamy!
