## Instructions

1. Start by working on the meat, using 96% lean beef to cut calories substantially.
2. Chop the jalapeno and add it to the meat for appetite-cutting capsaicin.
3. Add onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to the meat.
4. Season with sea salt and pepper.
5. Mix the meat and seasonings with your hands.
6. Portion out roughly 5 ounces of meat for each patty.
7. For the French fry alternative, boil some water, add salt, potatoes, and a tablespoon of baking soda; boil for 15 minutes until soft.
8. Once the potatoes have cooled, place them on a chopping block.
9. Gently smash them down with a cup.
10. Place the smashed potatoes on a baking tray or in your air fryer basket.
11. Spray generously with avocado oil or a high smoke point oil.
12. Season with salt and pepper, then flip them over and repeat.
13. Air fry or oven cook for 15 minutes at 420°F (216°C).
14. Fire up a non-stick skillet on medium-high heat, spray with olive oil or avocado oil, and cook the patty on both sides until your desired readiness.
15. Melt a thin slice of reduced-fat cheddar on the patty at the end of cooking.
16. For the mushroom topping, sauté shiitake mushrooms in the same skillet the patty was cooked in.
17. Add liquid aminos or soy sauce to the mushrooms and sauté until super delicious and succulent.
18. For the sauce, mix reduced-fat olive oil mayonnaise with a generous serving of sriracha and some fresh grated garlic.
19. Whip the sauce together until well combined.
20. Lightly spray the whole-grain bun with olive oil or butter.
21. Toast the bun in the oven.
22. Build the whopper by spreading sauce on the bun.
23. Place the patty with melted cheese on top of the sauce.
24. Add sautéed mushrooms.
25. Layer with pickles.
26. Add onion slices.
27. Place tomato slices.
28. Top with lettuce.
29. Finish with the top bun.
30. Garnish the burger with a slice of jalapeno.
31. Serve with smashed potatoes.
32. Swap out a soft drink for a delicious peach ginger iced tea.
