Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes (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

Ground Beef

  • 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

Sauce

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 ½ tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish, chopped extra fine
  • ½ tablespoon white vinegar
  • Pinch kosher salt

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

  1. Season the sweet potato. Preheat your oven to 425°F (200°C). Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl and add olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss thoroughly to evenly coat all the cubes.
  2. Roast the sweet potatoes. Spread the coated sweet potato cubes in a single layer on a sheet pan, leaving space between pieces for even roasting. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure all sides are nicely cooked and slightly caramelized.
  3. Brown the beef. While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and break it apart with a spatula. Season with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Cook until the meat is thoroughly browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Make the sauce. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, finely chopped sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir well until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  5. Assemble the burger bowls. Divide the roasted sweet potatoes evenly among four bowls. Top each bowl with browned ground beef, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, diced Roma tomatoes, diced dill pickles, and diced white onion. Drizzle the prepared sauce generously over each bowl and serve immediately.

Notes

  • To enhance the sweet potatoes’ caramelization, make sure they are spread out evenly and not overcrowded on the baking sheet.
  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a lighter or vegetarian option.
  • If desired, add extra toppings such as avocado slices, jalapeños, or a fried egg for added flavor and texture.
  • For a gluten-free version, confirm that mayonnaise and ketchup are gluten-free brands.
  • Leftover sweet potato cubes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
