The Paleo Big Mac

Following the Paleo diet puts major restrictions on some of our old favourite food, which causes major cravings, and temptations to cheat "just this one time" (which never is the case). The Big Ma - whether you've tried it or not - is one of the most famous, yet unhealthy burgers out there being loaded with sodium, sugars, bad carbs, and tons of calories. Plates to Plates has transformed this original into an 100% Paleo burger, which tastes even better (hard to believe? Try it yourself!)

Buns: 

1 large sweet potato

1. Start heating a small pan on medium, and add a base of olive oil. 

2. Grate entire sweet potato into thin, small strips and place in a mixing bowl.
