INSTRUCTIONS
Heat sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until zucchini is browned and tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with just half the vinegar and sesame seeds and stir to combine. Set the skillet aside for Step 3. TIP: Keep the remaining rice vinegar for your own use.
Add mayo, Aleppo pepper, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a small bowl. Stir to combine.
Position oven rack at the top and set oven to broil on high. Toast buns, cut side up, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Cook burgers until browned and heated through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp vegetable oil). TIP: All broilers are different. Watch carefully to ensure buns don’t burn.
Place the bottom buns on plates and top each with a burger patty. Add a dollop of Aleppo mayo on top of each burger, then top with sesame zucchini. Close the vibrant purple burgers and serve with remaining sesame zucchini and Aleppo mayo. Enjoy!
