Description
Roasted sweet potato cubes glow with crispy edges, nestled atop a bed of crisp lettuce and savory spiced beef. Layered with fresh tomato, pickles, cheese, and zingy burger sauce for a satisfying crunch in every bite.
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 500 g ground beef
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 4 cups mixed lettuce
- 1 large tomato
- 1/2 cup pickles
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced red onion
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, toss with olive oil, half the salt and half the pepper, then spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until tender.
- While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef.
- Season the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, remaining salt and pepper, and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.
- Divide the mixed lettuce between four bowls and top with roasted sweet potatoes and ground beef.
- Add tomato, pickles, shredded cheese and sliced red onion to each bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise, then drizzle over each burger bowl before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, swap ground beef for lean turkey or plant-based mince.
- You can roast sweet potato wedges instead of cubes for a different texture.
- Add sliced avocado or a dollop of guacamole for extra creaminess.
- Mix in hot sauce or chili flakes to the sauce for a spicy kick.
