Ingredients

Directions

  • 1 Bag Alexia Waffle Cut Sweet Potato Seasoned Fries (20 oz)
  • ½ C Mayonnaise
  • ¼ C Fresh Basil Leaves, packed

  • 4 Portobello Mushrooms
  • Cooking Spray

  1. Preheat oven to 425 ̊ F. 

  2. Place Alexia Waffle Cut Sweet Potato Seasoned Fries on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-28 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure maximum crispiness.

  5. Assemble mushroom burgers over a lettuce leaf with basil aioli, a basil leaf, tomato slice, mozzarella slice, and waffle cut fries. Top with an additional lettuce leaf.
