Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato (or 2 smaller ones, just make sure they're thick) scrubbed and sliced into 10 rounds - 1/4-1/2 inch thick
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for roasting sweet potatoes)
- fine grain sea salt to sprinkle over sweet potatoes
- 5 slices nitrate free bacon, cut in half to make 10 pieces total
- 1 and 1/2 lbs grass fed ground beef, formed into 10 small patties
- sprinkle od fine grain sea salt
- 1/2 cup of myMaple Chipotle Ketchup recipe (it's easy!)
- Green onions sliced thinly for garnish
Directions
- Prior to beginning, make the Maple Chipotle Ketchupto have it ready to go! Then, prepare to roast the sweet potatoes. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- Lightly brush each round with olive oil on each side. Place them on the baking sheet and lightly sprinkle with sea salt.
- Roast sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping once in the middle of roasting to evenly brown. They are done when the outside is lightly browned and the inside is soft.
- After putting sweet potatoes in the oven, fry the bacon slices over med-hi heat in a large heavy skillet until crisp, then remove and drain on paper towels. Discard the bacon fat, or save it for later use.
- In the same pan (bottom can still be coated with bacon grease) lightly sprinkle sea salt over the bottom and turn the heat back on to med-hi.
- Cook the 10 small burger patties about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach desired doneness.*
- When the patties are done, place them on a plate before assembling.
- To assemble, place roasted sweet potato rounds on a large serving platter and top with a mini burger, a dollop ofMaple Chipotle Ketchup and a piece of bacon folded in half and criss-crossed, then sprinkle thinly sliced green onions over the top.
- This recipe makes 10 servings but is easily scaled for whatever amount you want. Serve right away and enjoy!
