Preheat oven to 400 degrees, line a half sheet pan with parchment and set aside, and fire up your grill!
Make sure you have a batch of this thousand island dressing already made, it really makes the dish, but if you wish, you can also use purchased for ease, or any other favorites like simple ketchup and mustard.
If you haven’t already, hard boil your eggs.
Peel and chop sweet potato, place in a roasting pan and toss with 2 tbsp avocado oil, s+p to taste (I used about 1/2 tsp each), and any other seasonings you would like (2 tsp garlic powder + 1 tsp smoked paprika is really good), bake for 40 min on lower rack.
Grab your parchment lined sheet pan, lay 4 pieces of bacon in a single layer on one half; then place grape tomatoes on other half and toss them with 1 tbsp avocado oil and s+p (1/4 tsp of each should be fine). When there’s only 20 min left for the sweet potato, toss the sweet potato and place the half sheet pan of bacon and tomatoes in the oven on upper rack, they should both be done at the same time.
While your ingredients are roasting, chop pickles, hard boiled egg, scallions, and shred carrot. Set aside until ready to assemble.
When there’s 10 minutes left on your sweet potato, tomatoes and bacon, it’s time to cook your patties! This should allow enough time to cook your burger according to your liking. Season both sides of your patties with a bit of salt and pepper…and don’t forget to melt the cheese on top just before they're done, yum!
Once all your ingredients are prepped, it’s time to assemble! Divide your lettuce between 4 bowls and pile on your other toppings however you like! We usually do the lettuce, sprinkle on shredded carrot and scallions, then place the burgers with the melted cheese right in the middle and pile the other ingredients around the sides, top with dressing and your ready to mow down! These make great easy leftovers so don’t forget to make extra!
*You can buy several things already prepped if you prefer, such as: burger patties, pickle chips, shredded carrot, hard boiled eggs, pre-washed lettuce, dressing and guacamole. It makes this dish even easier!👌
