Ingredients
- Burger Meat
- 1 lb ground beef (90% lean preferred)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Tomato Salad
- 4 oz grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- Sweet Potato Wedges
- 1 medium sweet potato, cut into wedges
- 1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- To Assemble
- 4 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 avocado, cubed
- 1/2 cup pickles
- Burger Sauce
- 1/4 cup avocado mayo
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon pickle juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Roast the sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss the sweet potato wedges with avocado oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 24–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly crisp.
- Cook the beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into large chunks rather than crumbling it finely. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well, then remove from heat.
- Make the tomato salad: In a small bowl, toss the halved grape tomatoes and red onion with lime juice and sea salt.
- Mix the burger sauce: In another bowl or jar, whisk together the avocado mayo, ketchup, pickle juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the shredded lettuce among 4 bowls. Top each with the cooked beef, tomato salad, avocado, pickles, and roasted sweet potato wedges.
- Finish and serve: Drizzle generously with burger sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
- Store each bowl component separately in airtight containers in the fridge for the best texture.
- The beef and sweet potato wedges keep well for 4–5 days.
- The burger sauce will last up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
- Fresh toppings like lettuce, tomato salad, and avocado are best enjoyed within 1–2 days.
