Ingredients
Ground meat
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey/chicken
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Sweet potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Burger sauce
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
Burger toppings
- 4 cups shredded greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup diced dill pickles
- 1/2 cup diced sweet onion
Instructions
- Cook the sweet potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a medium bowl, toss the sweet potatoes in the olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the sweet potatoes to a parchment-lined or oiled baking sheet and roast for 25 to 35 minutes, until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. To air fry, preheat the air fryer to 400°F and transfer to an air fryer basked. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes.
- While sweet potatoes are cooking, cook the ground meat: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Break the meat apart as it cooks and continue cooking on medium heat for about 7 to 10 minutes or until completely cooked through.
- Make the burger sauce: Whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayo, dijon mustard, ketchup, honey, apple cider vinegar, paprika, and salt until smooth.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, cooked meat, cheese, and roasted sweet potatoes evenly into four bowls. Drizzle with the burger sauce and enjoy.
Notes
- Cut the sweet potatoes evenly. Aim for roughly ½-inch pieces so they cook at the same rate and fit easily into each bite.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan or air fryer. Keep the sweet potatoes in a single layer so they brown instead of steaming. You may need to air fry them in batches.
- Keep the greens crisp. Let the cooked meat and sweet potatoes cool for a few minutes before assembling if you don’t want the lettuce to wilt.
- For meal prep, store components separately. Keep the sauce and cold toppings separate from the meat and sweet potatoes, then reheat the warm components before assembling.
