Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉ (218°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spray with olive oil spray. Wash and peel your sweet potatoes. On a cutting board, use a sharp knife to cut them into 1 inch cubes.
- In a large bowl or directly on the baking sheet, coat the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add to the baking sheet in a single layer and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Oven times will vary.
- While the potatoes roast, heat a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add olive oil until heated. Lower to medium heat and add the onion. Saute until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground meat break it apart with a wooden spoon or masher. Cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to brown and then add the seasonings, and Worcestershire sauce. Continue to cook until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Make the burger sauce by combining the ingredients in a small bowl and stirring with a whisk or fork.
- To assemble the bowls, add the romaine lettuce, meat, sweet potatoes, tomato, red onion, cucumbers or pickles and any other toppings you like. Add the special sauce on top.
- Hint: if you have an air fryer, you can make the sweet potatoes in it instead. Preheat your air fryer to 400℉ (200°C) for a couple of minutes. Add your seasoned sweet potato cubes to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, giving them a good shake about 5 minutes through. Cook time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer.
