The right “bun” can bring a lot of flavor and texture to a Burger and it doesn’t always have to be a traditional bun. Think outside the classic bun with these creative, delicious ideas for taking your Burger game to the next level of yum while keeping it light and healthy.
LETTUCE EAT!
Keto-friendly Burger buns might seem like a contradiction, but your friend at Fireside are here to say you can have your burger and eat it too!
Create a delicious, low carb lettuce Burger using a wedge of the iceberg for a satisfying crunch or a roll of spinach for a soft taco style texture. Keep it healthy with crispy greens, carrots, peppers, and pickles. Avoiding cheese along with carbs? Try a spread of tahini sauce or hummus for a non-dairy alternative.
