Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and chop the sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes until fork-tender and slightly browned.
  3. In a large skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and fully cooked.
  4. Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the cooked beef. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spices are aromatic.
  5. Layer the Sweet Potato Burger Bowl by placing shredded lettuce at the bottom, top with roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned ground beef, red onions, diced tomatoes, and pickles.
  6. Drizzle the special sauce over the assembled ingredients to enhance flavors before serving.
