Instructions
- Put the oven on 200 C if you have thermo-circulation or 225 C if you don’t. Let it reach the temperature while you are preparing the food.Wash the potatoes well, and keep the skins on.Cut them in wedge sizes about 1 cm thick (you don’t need to be too precise, some will be thicker some thinner, as long as they are more or less the same size, they will all bake through just fine:) )Place a sheet of baking paper on a baking tray and spread coconut oil on it. Use your hands (I don't need to remind you to wash your hands ).With the remainder of the oil on your hands grab the cut potatoes and mix them with the oil on the paper, roll them with your hands, rub it all in Mix rosemary, chilli and himalayan salt in a small bowl and sprinkle it all over the potatoes, roll them around with your hands.Get in touch with your food Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking tray. When the oven reaches the temperature, place the potatoes in the oven for about 15 mins first. After 15minutes, you will shake the tray or use aspatula to turn them.While the potatoes are baking. Prep the burgers.If you have soaked and cooked your own beans, awesome. If you have store bought beans, great as well, whatever works for your time and finances Drain the beans, rinse them and place them in a bowl.Add all the remaining ingredients and use a blender (I operate my hand blender like a champion :), I have fancy equipment and I rarely use it, my hand blender does most of the job!)Once you blended it all into a fine, thick “dough”, taste it, see if you are missing some flavors. Maybe you want them more spicy - add chili, maybe more garlic. BUT - word to the wise With plant based dishes oftentime when you prepare aromatic foods, they get more aromatic after a few hours or even next day. So, if you are eating them right away, you can add more spices, but if you eat it the next day, the flavours will get even more pronounced.What I also do is I make my burger“dough” a day before and I keep it overnight in the fridge. Next day I take it out after breakfast to warm up and I keep them at room temperature all nice and ready to be shaped into patties Ok, so, now potatoes have been in for 15 minutes, take them out, turn them and move them towards the end of the tray. You should have space to put burgers on the tray on the front side.Form 4 patties and put it all back into the oven. After 10 minutes (turn the patties over) and see how the potatoes are doing, by now they should be soft and browning Give it 5-8 minutes more for the patties to get ready on the other side and potatoes will get even browner (I like them with a nice brown crisp).Mind you, unless you slap a lot of fat on the potatoes - which WE DO NOT WANT TO DO if you want to keep your arteries clean and healthy :), the potatoes will not be super crispy, but they will be delicious regardless While the potatoes are in the oven, mix all the ingredients for the sauce and prepare a nice mixed salad of your choice. With this variety, just a simple mix of greens with a dash of lemon will be perfect!TIP: You can make several portions and keep them in a fridge for up to a week and each day make them differently. Example below: on roasted zucchini, on lettuce, on toast, on Burger Buns!Et voila! Enjoy, to your health!
