Healthy Burger Bowl
My Healthy Burger Bowl Recipe combines everything you love about your favorite burger with the convenience of a veggie-filled bowl. Topped with a special burger sauce, it's quick, easy, and so flavorful!
My Go-To Healthy Burger Bowl with Special Sauce
Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy a good burger, whether it’s homemade turkey burgers, juicy chicken burgers, or even black bean burgers. However, my absolute favorite version is this healthy burger bowl recipe.
It offers everything you love about fast food burgers, complete with burger sauce. Then, I include lots of veggies and baked sweet potato wedges for extra flavor and nutrients. All the ingredients cook simultaneously, keeping prep time minimal. That means I can have a family-friendly meal on the table in less time than it takes to load up the kids in the car and make it through a drive-thru!
Ingredients and Notes
- Burger Meat - I prefer 90% lean ground beef, but any variety will work. Then, I add garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce for a savory, smoky taste. For a gluten-free option, use coconut aminos in place of Worcestershire sauce.
- Tomato Salad - Grape tomatoes, red onion, lime juice, and sea salt combine for a refreshing salad topping.
- Sweet Potato Wedges - Slice a sweet potato into wedges, and toss the pieces with olive oil or avocado oil. Then, season with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
- For the Bowls - I start with a base of shredded lettuce. Then, I include avocado and pickles for toppings.
- Burger Sauce - Better than store-bought options, my special sauce combines avocado mayo, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and pepper.

Frequently Asked Questions
Once assembled, I don’t recommend storing leftover bowls. However, you can prep the different components and store them in separate airtight containers in the fridge. The beef and potato wedges will keep fresh for 4-5 days, the sauce will last for up to one week, and the veggies store well for 1-2 days.
Absolutely! Feel free to swap the beef with bison, ground turkey, or even ground chicken. Just keep in mind that the taste and texture will change slightly, depending on what you use.
Feel free to add any burger toppings you like best! Shredded cheese, relish, bacon, or even a fried egg make great additions.
