Description

Ingredients

• 1 large sweet potato (or 2 smaller ones, just make sure theyre thick) scrubbed and sliced into 10 rounds - ¼-1/2 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 ½ lbs grass fed ground beef, formed into 10 small patties
• sprinkle od fine grain sea salt
• ½ cup of myMaple Chipotle Ketchup recipe (its 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!
