Sweet Potato Burger Bowl

Be the first to review!

This sweet potato burger bowl is one of those meals I'll never get tired of. It combines all the tasty layers of an In-N-Out burger, but leans healthier with roasted sweet potatoes and seasoned ground beef as the base.

Instructions

Season the sweet potato. Preheat your oven to 425°F (200°C). Place the cubed sweet potato in a mixing bowl and add the oil, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
Roast the sweet potato. Arrange the sweet potato in a dingle layer on a sheet pan, making sure there's space between the cubes. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring the potatoes halfway through.
Brown the beef. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Use a spatula to break it up, then add the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned.
Make the sauce. In a small mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, and salt. Stir together.
Assemble the burger bowls. Add a portion of the sweet potato to a bowl. Top with ground beef, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced pickles, and diced onion.

Notes

Meal prep tip: Prep each component on a Sunday morning so that assembly is super quick during the week! Store everything in its own container (each item should last for around 5 days in the fridge). For assembly, reheat the roasted sweet potato and ground beef in a bowl in the microwave, then add your burger bowl toppings.
