Instead of using traditional burger buns (or even a gluten-free alternative), this dish from Tasty Yummies incorporates a lettuce wrap. This recipe was made for people with dietary restrictions, allowing them to also get in on the barbecue fun this summer. The [lettuce wrap veggie burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chickpea-masala-veggie-burger) are also topped with a delectable cilantro sauce. To make your own patties at home, you will need ingredients such as broccoli, sweet potatoes, onion, flaxseeds, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Food blogger Beth suggests using coconut oil for greasing the pan for bonus health points, and recommends toppings like avocado, red or green onion, sprouts and tomato slices for your sweet potato burger. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Grain-free Burgers:** Opportunity for innovative grain-free burger options for individuals with dietary restrictions. - **Lettuce Wrap Burgers:** Disruptive potential in replacing traditional burger buns with lettuce wraps for a healthier alternative. - **Vegetarian Burgers:** Growing demand for delicious and creative vegetarian burger options. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food companies to develop innovative grain-free burger products to cater to dietary restrictions and health-conscious consumers. - **Gluten-free Food:** Disruptive potential in the gluten-free food industry by offering lettuce wrap alternatives as a healthier and low-carb option for burgers. - **Vegetarian Food:** Growing market for companies to create and market vegetarian burger alternatives that are delicious and satisfying. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Delectable Veggie Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delectable-veggie-burgers.md) - [Bun-Free Burger Options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-bunless-burger.md) - [Crunchy Veggie Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunchy-veggie-burgers.md) - [Black Bean Burger Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/actual-veggies-black-bean-patty.md) - [Restaurant-Style Frozen Plant-Based Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-praegers-grillhouse-burger.md) - [Textural Veggie-Rich Burger Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/actual-veggies-burgers.md) - [Broccoli-Based Sandwich Thins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alternatives-to-bread.md) - [Beet-Based Burger Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfectseason-beetroot-patties.md) - [Fermented Rye Plant-Based Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-grain-vegetable-burger.md)
