3. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

4. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

5. Roast for 45–55 minutes, flipping halfway, until soft and caramelized.

2. Prepare the Burgers

1. Form ground beef into 12 medium-sized patties, using the size of your sweet potato slices as a guide (sine they're the 'buns'.

2. Season generously with steak spice, or alternatively mix seasoning into the meat before forming patties.

3. Cook:

   • In the oven at 400°F for 15–20 minutes, or

   • On the BBQ until cooked to desired doneness.

3. Build the Burger Stacks

Use two roasted sweet potato slices as the “bun” and layer with:
