For those seeking a healthier and gluten-free burger option, look no further. This recipe allows you to enjoy a delicious burger made with wholesome ingredients, and you don't even have to give up the satisfying crunch of chips.

Ingredients:
For the Burger:
- 2x 200g plain beef burger patties
- 1 large tomato
- 1/4 cucumber
- 2 lettuce leaves
- 4 bacon slices
- 4 portobello mushrooms (large brown mushrooms)
- Sesame seeds
- Ghee or coconut oil
- Salt and pepper
For the Fries:
- 1 sweet potato

- A little coconut oil
Homemade Ketchup:
- 1 can of tomatoes
- 1 small sweet onion
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- A pinch of ground allspice
- A pinch of ground cinnamon
- 1 clove of garlic
- A pinch of chili powder
- Salt and pepper
Instructions:
1. Homemade Ketchup:
- Crush the garlic and combine it with other ketchup ingredients.
- Simmer over low heat for about an hour until it thickens.
- Blend until smooth with a hand blender.
2. Sweet Potato Fries:
- Peel and slice the sweet potato into desired shapes.
- Place on parchment paper, coat with a little olive oil, and bake at 190°C for about 40 minutes until crispy.
- Optionally, sprinkle with chili or pepper before baking, but salt after baking.
3. Burger Preparation:
- Clean and slice the vegetables.
- Bake bacon in a preheated oven at 200°C for 8-10 minutes until crispy.
- Grill burger patties on medium heat for 8 minutes per side.
- Add mushrooms to the grill after the first flip and grill for about 5 more minutes.
4. Assembly:
- Stack ingredients on top of each other, using portobello mushrooms as both top and bottom "buns."
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and serve with homemade ketchup and sweet potato chips.
5. Tip:
Soak sweet potato fries in cold water for an hour before baking to remove starch for a crispier result. Homemade ketchup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a month.
