Don’t judge this Paleo Brussels Sprouts & Raisin burger before you try it! Raisins in a burger may seem like a strange addition, but they provide a sweetness that makes it irresistible! Bacon and Brussels sprouts pair really well together. I like to cook a few strips of bacon, break them into pieces, and mix with a little goat cheese for a BurgerFit burger topping!

Why eat the Paleo Brussels Sprouts & Raisin Burger?

Brussels sprouts are in the same family as cabbages and offer the same sulfur-containing phytochemical, glucosinolate. Glucosinolates have been researched for their anti-canccer effects. Brussels sprouts also contain high amounts of vitamin K. Just 1/2 cup provides over 100% of the daily recommended value of this vitamin that contributes to blood and bone health.

This recipe also follows many dietary lifestyles including gluten-freedairy-freewhole30, and paleo!

Equipment

Knife
Cutting board
Glass baking dish
Measuring spoons
Small bowl
Food processor
Large bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cooking fat
  • 1 package brussels sprouts
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt divided
  • 1 small package raisins
  • 1 garlic clove or 1/2 teapsoon garlic powder
  • 1 lb ground meat

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut ends from brussels sprouts, and remove and discard any yellow or brown leaves. Cut brussels sprouts in half. Mix them in baking dish with 1 tablespoon cooking fat, ½ teaspoon salt, and crushed garlic clove. Roast in oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • While the brussels sprouts are cooking, add raisins to a bowl with water and let soak. This makes them easier to chop in the food processor.
  • Once the brussels sprouts are cooked, remove raisins from water. Add both to the food processor (or finely chop). Taste vegetable mixture and add more salt and/or garlic if desired. Let the mixture cool completely. 
  • In a large bowl, mix the ground meat and remaining teaspoon of salt. Gradually incorporate vegetable mixture into the ground meat. Add as much as you can while still being able to form your burgers as normal.
    *If you end up adding too much vegetable mixture, don’t worry! Just form your burgers and cook in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • Cook burgers on medium heat on the stove for 5 minutes on each side or to your preference. Cooking times can vary.
  • Optional: Serve with remaining brussels sprouts on the side.

    I have a 4 year old girl who loves raisins a lot – raisins on her ice cream, raisins on her cake, raisins on her macaroni salad, on her pizza, you name it. I know it’s strange but that’s the only way she would take her foods. I tried to break her from this raisin addiction but she’s perfectly healthy the way she is, nothing wrong according to her pedia. Now I found this burger recipe with raisins!!! I’m debating on telling her or not but I have a feeling this is going to balance her diet since it’s a very healthy burger. Can someone please advise?

    • Hi Sam. Raisins are packed with energy and rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. I highly recommend this healthy food in your daughter’s diet but also try to find a balance between giving her more veggies and proteins during meal time.
