Instructions
Make the Burgers:
- Preheat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Form ground beef into 4 equal patties. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook burgers for about 4–5 minutes per side until desired doneness.
Cook the Bacon:
- While the burgers are cooking, crisp the bacon in a skillet over medium heat (about 8–10 minutes), or bake at 400°F for 10–12 minutes until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Prepare the Carrot Fries:
- Toss carrot sticks in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly in the air fryer basket without overlapping.
- Air fry at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, shaking halfway through, until crispy and golden on the edges.
Assemble the Burger Bowl:
- In a bowl, layer the greens, burger patty, bacon slices, avocado, carrot fries, and pickles. Drizzle with BBQ sauce.
Assemble the Burger on a Bun (Optional):
- Toast your paleo bun if desired. Layer with burger, bacon, avocado, pickles, greens, carrot fries, and a drizzle of BBQ sauce.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve immediately while the burgers are hot and the carrot fries are crispy!
