For the burgers
- 1 lb organic, grass-fed 93% lean ground beef
- Kinder's seasoning, to taste
- About 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- Finely chopped yellow onion, for serving
For the broccoli
- Organic broccoli, cut into florets
- Olive oil spray
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, to taste
- About ½ tablespoon grated Parmesan per serving
For the loaded smashed potatoes
- About 1¼ lb baby potatoes, rinsed and patted dry
- Olive oil spray
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, to taste
- Grated Parmesan or light Mexican-blend cheese, for topping
- 3 slices turkey bacon
- Finely chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F convection. Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet, lightly spray with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Roast for about 40 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
- Spread the broccoli on a separate baking sheet. Lightly spray with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Roast for 20–30 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.
- Once the potatoes are tender, use the flat side of a spatula to press each one into a thin smashed potato. Sprinkle with Parmesan or light Mexican-blend cheese.
- Broil the potatoes for approximately 3–5 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese melts and the edges are crispy.
- Meanwhile, divide the ground beef into 8 small balls and press into thin patties. Season both sides with Kinder's seasoning.
- Grill over medium-high heat for approximately 3 minutes per side, until the centers reach about 135–140°F for medium. Top with Parmesan and finely chopped yellow onion.
- Cook the turkey bacon in a skillet according to the package directions until crispy, then crumble.
- Divide the burgers, broccoli, and potatoes among four bowls. Lightly sprinkle the broccoli with Parmesan, and finish the potatoes with crumbled turkey bacon and fresh chives.
