Cheesy Mushroom Veggie Burger with BBQ Sauce & Sweet Potato WedgesCheesy Mushroom Veggie Burger with BBQ Sauce & Sweet Potato Wedges — a 40-minute lunch recipe with 10 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

6 caps portobello mushrooms

1 ½ cups shredded cheese, Italian blend

1.02 kg sweet potatoes

6 veggie burger patties, plant-based

6 whole grain buns or rolls

barbecue sauce

black pepper

cumin, ground

extra virgin olive oil

salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Place oven racks in the upper, middle, and lower positions.

Wash, dry, peel, and cut each sweet potato lengthwise into 6-8 wedges, depending on size, then divide between two baking sheet pans. Drizzle with oil and season with salt; toss to coat and spread out in an even layer.

Place baking sheets on the upper and middle racks of the oven (it doesn't have to be fully heated) and bake, flipping once, until golden and fork-tender, 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, wash and dry mushrooms; remove stems and scrape out the gills. Transfer to another baking sheet, drizzle with oil, and season with spices. Place on the lower rack of the oven and bake until tender, 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven.

While the mushrooms are baking, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Working in batches if necessary, add burger patties and cook until golden brown on one side, 4-5 minutes.

Flip the burger patties, top with cheese, and continue to cook until cheese is melted and patties are cooked through, 4-5 minutes more (or cook patties according to package instructions). Remove to a plate.

Meanwhile, toast buns if desired.

Place the bottom half of each bun on a flat surface, then top with barbecue sauce, cheesy burger patties, and mushrooms. Close with the top half of each bun.

To serve, divide veggie burgers and sweet potato wedges between plates. Enjoy!
