Epic Vegan Burger!

A veggie burger is a great alternative to a normal burger that contains meat and dairy. I have made a very creative mini burger that taste delicious and is pretty simple to prepare, for you, your friends and family. This burger is absolutely gluten free and based on only wholefoods. The actual burger is made of carrots and millet, and the bun is a sweet potato. I love to create different kinds of food, that looks pretty and taste amazing, and therefore I am very happy about the outcome of this one. 

This recipe is:

• oil free
• 100% plants!
• gluten free
• vegan
• 100 % plantbased
• heaven delicious
• made with love
• perfect for a party!
• kids-friendly

I used baked sweet potatoes instead of bread, and to be honest, that is genius! The texture is soft, it tastes sweet and fits great with the different textures of the veggies and the awesome carrot burger! The burger is simple to mix together and has only healthy ingredients with a lot of carotene and protein!

I made a simple sour dressing for this burger, and roasted curry chickpeas that are the a great alternative to pommes fries. I would love you to try my recipe and share your thoughts about it in the comments below!
