Method
 

  1. Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the sweet potato wedges with avocado oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 24–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are toasty and crispy.

  2. Cook the Beef: While the potatoes roast, place the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the meat, breaking it into large chunks rather than small crumbles. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to coat and remove from heat once fully cooked.

Notes

To get the best results with your Healthy Burger Bowls Recipe, make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet when roasting the sweet potatoes. If the wedges are too close together, they will steam instead of crisping up. For the beef, using 90% lean ground beef provides the perfect balance of flavor without excess grease. If you are meal prepping, store the hot components (beef and potatoes) separately from the cold components (lettuce, tomato salad, and sauce) to keep everything fresh and crunchy when you are ready to eat.
