1 vegetable stock cube

200g lean minced beef

low-calorie oil spray

for serving

2 burger baps

1 tablespoon extra light mayonnaise

rocket leaves

1 tomato, halved

1 pickled gherkin, halved

1 Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F, gas mark 6.

2 Cut the sweet potatoes into chunky chips and place in a saucepan. Add the stock cube and just cover with water. Bring to the boil and cook for 4–5 minutes.

3 Drain well and place on a non-stick baking tray. Spray lightly with oil spray and place in the oven for 15–20 minutes until golden brown.

4 In a mixing bowl combine the beef, onion, chives and stock powder. Divide the mixture into 2 and use your hands to form 2 burger shapes.

5 Cook the burgers under a hot grill for 5–6 minutes each side or on a contact health grill for 5–6 minutes.

6 To assemble the burgers, spread each bap with the mayonnaise, add some rocket leaves, half a tomato, then a burger, and top with half a gherkin. Serve with the sweet potato chips.


TIP As the vegetable stock cube contains some salt you don’t need to add extra salt to the potato cooking water
