preparation
➊ For the vegetarian burgers: Peel the sweet potato and grate it coarsely. Heat an iron pan on the grill and add the oil. Add the grated sweet potato and fry, turning constantly. Season with salt and pepper and add a little BBQ sauce. If necessary, leave to cook a little longer in a more moderate temperature zone if you don't want the sweet potato to have much bite.
➋ Toast the burger bun and spread the bottom with the goat's cheese. Spread the sweet potatoes on top, then some coleslaw, and finally put the bun lid on.
➌ For the side dish: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into 5 mm thick slices. Mix the ingredients for the spice mixture together with the olive oil in a large bowl and mix with the sweet potato slices.
➍ Equip a grill with a lid with a closed grill plate and preheat to approx. 180° C. Spread the sweet potato slices on the grill plate, which has previously been lightly coated with oil; they can overlap slightly. Grill for around 20 minutes, turning occasionally. If there is a problem with space, grill the slices in portions and keep them warm until serving.
Note: Sweet potatoes are available all year round and are one of the most important staple foods in the world: behind corn, rice, wheat and others, they rank 7th with an annual production of 140 million tons.
