Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Slice the zucchini into thin discs. Thinly slice the red capsicum. Peel and crush the garlic.
In a small bowl, mix the pesto and the garlic aioli together.
In a large bowl, combine the beef mince, crushed garlic, salt (use suggested amount), egg, fine breadcrumbs and a pinch of pepper. Mix well. Shape the beef mixture into evenly sized patties (one per person) about the size of your burger buns. Set aside on a plate.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Tip: The beef patties are cooked when the centre is no longer pink. Set aside on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Return the pan to a medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the zucchini and red capsicum and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until tender. Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper.
While the veggies are cooking, place the bake-at-home burger buns in the oven (directly onto the wire racks) for 3 minutes, or until heated through. Tip: Make sure the burger buns don't burn!
Slice the burger buns in half and coat the base of the bun with the pesto aioli. Add a beef patty and top with the zucchini, capsicum and baby spinach leaves. Drizzle any remaining spinach leaves with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and serve on the side.
