Burger Night Recipe

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Peel and chop the sweet potato and carrots into thin fries. Toss them with olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

In a bowl, season the beef mince with sea salt and black pepper to your liking. Divide the seasoned mince into 4 equal portions and form them into flat burger patties, slightly larger than your buns, as they will shrink during cooking.

Spread the seasoned sweet potato and carrot fries in a single layer on a baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside, flipping halfway through.

While the fries are baking, heat a large pan or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-well doneness, or adjust to your preference. If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking until melted.

Lightly toast the burger buns on the same pan or grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. This adds texture and prevents the bun from getting soggy.

Assemble your burgers: spread your preferred sauce on both halves of the toasted buns. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, the cooked patty (with melted cheese if used), and top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately with the hot sweet potato and carrot fries.
