Simple Paleo Plate with Rosemary Potatoes, Sharp White Cheddar, Avocado, Hamburger Patties & Roasted Broccolini

Some dinners look fancy but take zero brainpower, and honestly, that's my favorite category of food. This plate is basically the definition of "simple but impressive": crispy rosemary potatoes, charred broccolini, juicy hamburger patties, creamy avocado, and few slices of sharp white cheddar for that salty bite. It's paleo-lean, super filling, and feels like something you'd get at a farm-to-table cafe-except you made it in 30 minutes at home.

What I love most is how everything on the plate tasted good on its own, but together it's this perfect mix of textures; crunchy, creamy, melty, and savory. It's the kind of meal that makes you feel like you're taking care of yourself without doing anything complicated.

Directions:

Roast the Potatoes

• Preheat the over to 425 degrees Fahrenheit

• Cut the potatoes in halves or quarters (approximately 1/2" pieces)

• Bowl enough water for the potatoes

• Put the potatoes in for 5 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon and pat dry with paper towels.

• Toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper

• Spread them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cut-side down

• Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

Roast the Broccolini

• On a separate sheet pan, toss the broccolini with olive oil, salt and pepper

• Add it to the oven during the last 12-15 minutes of the potato roasting time

• Cook until all the stems are tender and the tops get a little charred

Cook the Hamburger Patties

• Form the ground beef into 4 equal patties

• Season both sides with salt, pepper, and onion powder

• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred doneness

• Let them rest for a minute so the juices settle

Assemble the Plate

• Add a scoop of rosemary potatoes, a handful of roasted broccolini, and one or two hamburger patties

• Slice the avocado and tuck it next to the patties

• Add a few slices of sharp white cheddar for that perfect salty-creamy contrast
