📝 Ingredients (for 2 servings)

For the Bowl:

• 2 large sweet potatoes, cubed

• 1 lb grass-fed ground beef or turkey

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• 1 tsp sea salt

• 4 cups leafy greens (spinach, kale, or mixed greens)

• 1 avocado, sliced OR guacamole

• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced - could sub this out for pickled onions

• Goat cheese — any kind you like

• Optional: cherry tomatoes, pickles, sauerkraut, plantain chips for a crunch, bacon, pepper jelly

For the Dressing:

• 1/4 cup avocado-oil mayo or Vegenaise (or olive oil-based mayo)

• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

• 2 tbsp ketchup

• 1 tsp honey (optional)

• Salt & pepper to taste

• A dash of onion powder

🍳 Instructions

1. Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and paprika. Roast on a baking sheet for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and tender.

2. Cook the Burger Meat: While the potatoes are roasting, brown your ground beef or turkey in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic powder, salt, and any seasonings you love. Cook until fully done, then set aside.

3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, mustard, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Season with salt, pepper, and a dash of onion powder to taste. Adjust for your perfect balance of tangy and creamy.

4. Assemble Your Bowl: Start with a bed of greens, then layer on roasted sweet potatoes, your seasoned burger meat, avocado slices, red onion, and any toppings you love. Drizzle with your creamy dressing and dig in!
