Last year I decided I wanted to stop eating meat. At home we don’t eat that much meat, but when we did, I just didn’t like it and it made me feel worse. So why would I keep eating it? Well, that’s when I started looking for some great vegetarian meals. I have a couple favorites but this vegetarian burger with sweet potato fries is very easy and tasty! So here you go. ?
THE BURGER ?
What you’ll need | Mc2 burger (from De Vegetarische Slager), a whole wheat bun, tomatoes, salad and a sauce of your choice.
How to | First things first, you always have to start by washing your vegetables. So for this meal you need to wash the salad and tomatoes (or other vegetables if you add anything else). I decided to mix different types of salad we still had in the refrigerator, like rucola and regular lettuce. Big tomatoes are the best to use on a burger (at least, that’s what I think). So I cut the tomatoes in slices and put them to the side.
Next is the most important part of this meal, the burger. My favorite vegetarian burger is from De Vegetarische Slager, so that’s what I used for this. You can also decide to make your own burger or chose a different vegetarian one you like. I had to cook it in a pan for a little. While the burger was in the pan, I got my toaster out, cut the whole wheat bun in half and made sure the insides of the bun got toasted. I think this gives a bite to your burger.
When the burger was fully cooked, I left it on a plaid while I put the burger together. I first put the salad on the bun, then the burger, then the tomatoes and lastly I put a sauce on the top bun to add some extra flavor.
SWEET POTATO FRIES ?
What you’ll need | Sweet potatoes, different kind of spices (paprika, garlic and salt) and a dip of your choice (inspired by Uit Pauline’s Keuken).
How to | Let’s start with the fries! First you have to wash the potatoes (like you do with other vegetables). Now you have to make a decision, are you going to leave on the skin or not? I chose to leave mine on but you can also peel it. Whatever you like. Then you can start to cut your potatoes. Cut them whoever thick you like (I suggest making them about 1 centimeter thick).
For this sweet potato fries recipe, you don’t need any oil or soaking them in water. Just lay your fries on a baking sheet. Now add the spices you like. I chose to go for paprika, garlic and salt. I really like this combination. Mix everything together and make sure all of your fries are covered with the spices. Now put them in a preheated oven (at 180 C) for about 30 to 35 minutes. Every 10 minutes you have to check and turn them (the first time I made them they weren’t fully cooked, so it really depends on your oven how long they need to be in there).
Serve the fries with your favorite dip and you’re done! ?? I chose to serve them with a truffle mayonnaise. This is so tasty in combination with the spices I’ve used. Like I said before, this is one of my favorite things to eat. The burger is so good and I really recommend trying it, even if you do eat and like meat. Would you try this vegetarian burger? What’s your favorite meal at the moment?
Love,
Neeltje

This post has made me so hungry – I personally love veggie burgers, even more than regular burgers! And they are so much more nutritious usually too, so that’s a plus!

You really should! It’s super good 🙂 Xx
Een burger is altijd goed natuurlijk. Hier eten we geen vegetarische burgers, maar de gewone vlees burgers, wel eet ik elke weer een of twee keer vegetarisch.
Author
Ik raad je echt aan deze burgers van De Vegetarische Slager een keer te proberen, want ze smaken echt heerlijk!
This looks so delicious! I have to try it!

You should! Xx
Ik vind de titel van je post echt geweldig! Superleuk. En deze burger lijkt me heel lekker. Ik houd toch erg van hamburgers : )
Author
Haha, dankjewel! Echt een aanrader om te proberen 🙂
ik eet regelmatig vegetarisch. Ik vind het belangrijk om bewust te eten, maar helemaal nooit meer vlees of vis zou ik niet kunnen.
Author
Ik eet af en toe nog vis, maar voor de rest eigenlijk helemaal geen vlees meer. Ik dacht ook niet dat ik zonder zou kunnen, maar ik mis het helemaal niet 🙂 Vind de vegetarische opties eigenlijk veel lekkerder. X
Ok I’m hungry now!
We eat meat, but not that much, we eat a lot of vegetarian products as well and I like them too.
About the fries, I tried it, but the first time they got more soggy than crunchy, so I have to give it a try again.
I’ll keep this in mind, thanks! ??

I feel with sweet potato fries you really have to get the hang of it but I bet it will work next time for you 🙂 X
Wat een geweldige uitdrukking! you are the hamburger to my fries.
Zoete aardappelen frituren? moet kunnen. Ik maak mijn vegetarische hamburgers van linzen ( errug lekker )
Author
Haha, leuk he! Ze zijn niet gefrituurd, gewoon uit de oven. Veel lekkerder 🙂
So this veggie burger actually tastes good! I’ll try this one next time. I usually find them so boring.
Author
This is really good yes!
At the looks I would eat it for sure, so yummy
Author
Ah, you should! It really is. X

Author
Haha, ah good to hear! Same for me btw 🙂
Dit ziet echt heerlijk uit, ik ga het uit proberen xx
Author
Zeker doen! Het is echt het proberen waard 🙂 X
Wat goed dat je ook je eigen gevoel hebt gevolgd en bent gestopt met het eten van vlees! Ik eet zelf alweer een jaar vegan en dat bevalt mij onwijs goed, het vlees mis ik ook totaal niet. Gelukkig zijn er zoveel fijne vervangers, deze hamburgers zien er ook erg goed uit. Hopelijk komt er snel een vegan variant!
Author
Ah dankjewel! Knap dat je al een jaar volledig vegan bent. Ik hoop inderdaad dat er snel een vegan variant voor jou komt 🙂
Oeh ziet er goed uit! Mooie foto’s ook 🙂

Dankjewel!
Great post! I’ve been vegetarian since September and I feel like it’s one of the best decisions for my health, will have to try making my own veggie burger!

Dit ziet er erg lekker uit. Ik eet niet zo vaak vegetarisch (probeer dat wel steeds vaker te doen) maar dit lijkt een heel smakelijk idee om eens te maken!

Dit is zeker de moeite waard 🙂
