In today's blog, we come to convince you that healthy fast food is possible if you choose the right ingredients and appliances to make it. This way, you can enjoy this type of food whenever you want and without worrying about how it might be affecting your health.  

A guilt-free burger, with very few calories. 

 Burgers are one of the most well-known foods of  fast food, and at the same time one of the most discouraged for daily diet, especially if you buy it at a fast food restaurant. But, you don't have to worry, in case you find it hard to give up this appetizing food, there are alternatives. 

You have many options to make a burger completely healthy, starting with its main ingredient. It is possible to substitute beef with chicken, or even tofu if you are looking to follow a vegan diet. Fortunately, nowadays you can find vegan burgers in your supermarket more easily. 

A good option is chicken, specifically the breast, as it contains no fat and is suitable for any weight loss diet. However, forget about breading it as you often find it in many fast food restaurants. Although, we have a very useful alternative for you if you don't want to miss that crunchy sensation. With chickpea flour, which is increasingly easy to find in the supermarket, you can coat a chicken breast fillet.

Another important element to eliminate from your diet is oil. Luckily, you can resort to an oil-free fryer like the  Crunchy Medium Digital from Mellerware. With minimal oil, preferably extra virgin olive oil, you will need only a few minutes to enjoy a crispy and delicious chicken. Don't forget to add a touch of salt and black pepper to taste beforehand.

The rest of the ingredients should also be healthy. We advise you to choose a whole wheat bread and avoid the typical slice of cheese, which you can replace with a slice of fresh cheese, as it doesn't contain as much fat. Then, complete this delicious dish with lettuce, slices of tomato, onion, pickles, and a touch of mustard. This sauce is characterized by having minimal calories, besides giving an incredible flavor to the meats.

Vegan hot dog

Health is very important, no doubt, but your palate might ask you to enjoy those fast foods you used to love, like the hot dog. Now it is possible to make the famous hot dog , but really healthy.

The growing demand for vegan food allows you to buy some tofu sausages at your own supermarket. This convenience will allow you to cook quickly and without having to wait too long, just as you were used to in fast food restaurants.

Replacing the hot dog bun may not be so simple. When looking for a healthy option, it is advisable to avoid consuming white bread, as it is processed. Therefore, we advise you to choose a suitable whole grain option. You will find versions of large slices, to buy those that suit your taste.

All you need to do is cook the tofu sausages on the Hotty digital grill from Mellerware. You won't need to keep an eye on the food while cooking, as it is easily programmable and also easy to clean. The best part is that you don't need oil. With adjustable plates, you can select the side of your food that you want more toasted. In the case of the sausage, we recommend the same degrees on both plates.

To make your hot dogs more international, you can add some of the ingredients that are usually enjoyed in North America when eating their hot dogs. A little diced tomato , avocado in half moons, pickles and onion to taste. As we are promoting healthy food, in the case of sauces, it is advisable to opt for mustard again. This way you won't miss a classic fast food item.

Sweet Potato Chips

Although, with the help of the oil-free fryer, you can enjoy healthier potatoes, many people don't feel well with this carbohydrate, while also wanting to try an alternative to it. That's why we invite you to try sweet potato or yam. 

To start making this recipe, you will begin by cutting the sweet potatoes into the shape of French fries. You know, elongated and with the thickness of your preference. In a bowl, you will mix the pieces with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a bit of salt and black pepper. If you wish, you can add other spices, such as turmeric, sweet paprika, oregano, and anything else you can think of.

In the Crunchy Medium Digital oil-free fryer, from Mellerware , you must place each chip well distributed so that the heat is evenly spread. To achieve that characteristic crunch, you should flip each piece halfway through cooking. Since you already mixed them with EVOO, you won't need to add any inside the fryer.

Set the device to 180 degrees Celsius. After 15 or 20 minutes, you can open it to flip your chips. Complete the 30 minutes to enjoy this delight, which is usually a side of fast food, only this time, in its healthier version.

What can you dip your sweet potato chips in? We recommend tzatziki sauce, which is made with EVOO, natural yogurt, lemon juice, a piece of cucumber, and seasoned to taste. You can create this sauce with the help of the Spiro Hand Blender, from Mellerware.

As you have seen, it is possible to cook healthy fast food , with minimal calories and suitable ingredients for a healthy diet. Whether you're vegan or not, you can opt for tofu, lean meats, and of course, vegetables and legumes, which contribute significantly to our well-being. Mellerware provides you with the best kitchen appliances.
