Seed Oil Free Hawaiian Pineapple Burger
Juicy, caramelized, and loaded with bold tropical flavor, this burger is the kind of meal that makes you forget you ever needed a bun. The patties are seasoned with coconut aminos, fresh garlic, ginger, and a touch of turmeric before being seared in coconut oil — meaning every single fat in this recipe is intentional and clean, with zero industrial seed oils hiding anywhere in the ingredient list. That matters more than most people realize, since conventional burger nights are quietly loaded with canola or soybean oil in sauces, cooking sprays, and even the patty mix itself. Here, the grilled pineapple gets its caramelized edges from a hot pan and a brush of coconut aminos, no mystery oils required. The creamy avocado sauce — blended with apple cider vinegar and fresh ginger — pulls everything together with a bright, savory richness that honestly outperforms any bottled condiment. Butter lettuce wraps keep it light and fresh while giving you that satisfying hand-held experience. It's a weeknight dinner that feels indulgent but stays completely aligned with how you actually want to eat.
