Ingredients
- For the sweet potato: 2 pounds sweet potato (2 to 3 potatoes), cut into ½-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- For the burger meat: 1 pound lean ground beef
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- For the sauce: ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 ½ tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish, chopped extra fine
- ½ tablespoon white vinegar
- Pinch of kosher salt
- For the toppings: 3 cups shredded lettuce
- 4 Roma tomatoes, deseeded and diced
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- ½ cup diced white onion
- ½ cup diced dill pickles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper if desired.
- Add the cubed sweet potatoes to a large bowl. Toss with olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.
- While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.
- Season the beef with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
- To make the sauce, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, and a pinch of kosher salt until smooth.
- Prepare the toppings by shredding the lettuce and dicing the tomatoes, white onion, and dill pickles.
- Divide the roasted sweet potatoes among four bowls. Add the seasoned burger meat, lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheese, diced onion, and dill pickles.
- Drizzle each bowl with the burger sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
- Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes so they roast at the same rate.
- For extra browning, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
- You can prepare the sauce and chop the toppings while the sweet potatoes are roasting.
- Store the components separately in airtight containers for easier meal prep.
