1 serving

160g sweet potato, cut into wedges
1 tsp olive oil
salt and pepper
120g 5% fat beef mince
1 tsp chipotle paste
1 thick slice red onion
1 burger bun, split
20g light mayonnaise
½ jarred roasted red pepper in brine, sliced
2 baby gem lettuce leaves

Method

Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Tip the sweet potato wedges into a roasting tray, drizzle over the oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile combine the beef and chipotle paste in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Using wet hands shape the mixture into a thick patty slightly wider than the burger bun. If you want to make the burger in advance, lay it on a plate and cover with clingfilm at this stage then refrigerate until you’re ready to cook.

Set a griddle pan over a high heat and fry the burger for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a warm plate to rest. Whilst the burger is resting, griddle the onion for a minute or so on each side until lightly charred.

Spread the cut sides of the bun with the mayonnaise, add the burger on top then layer up with the onion, red pepper and lettuce. Serve with the sweet potato fries.
