Grilled Veggie Burger

 

I literally have no time during the week to cook so I have to be creative with making fast meals that are healthy and delicious. This is so simple to put together, there’s really no reason to run out and get fast food!

Ingredients:

1 squash or zucchini
1 small eggplant
1 small red onion
1 tomato, sliced
1/2 avocado sliced
Lettuce, spinach, or your favorite spring mix
2 whole wheat buns, toasted

Slice squash or zucchini, eggplant, red onion into 1/4” rounds. Toss with 1 Tbsp olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Cook both sides on grill, or line a baking sheet with foil. Bake at 400, 10 minutes each side.

While cooking, slice your tomato and avocado, toast the buns, and put together a quick side salad.

Arrange lettuce, tomato, avocado slices, and grilled veggies on toasted bun. Save extra veggies for next day or enjoy as an additional side dish.

Cooking Tip: Slice a whole avocado from top to bottom and twist to separate. Set aside the half with the pit still in tact. Take a paring knife and slice the avocado into thin slices from top to bottom without cutting all the way through the outside skin. Take a large spoon and scoop out avocado from top to bottom. You now have sliced avocado!
