Instructions

**Prepare Sweet Potatoes:** Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a large baking sheet, toss the sweet potato wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.
**Cook Ground Beef:** While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Season the cooked beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, stirring to combine.
**Make Burger Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, dill pickle relish, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and garlic powder until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
**Assemble Bowls:** Divide the chopped lettuce evenly among four serving bowls. Top each bowl with a portion of the seasoned ground beef and the roasted sweet potato wedges.
**Add Toppings:** Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and dill pickle slices over the beef and sweet potatoes in each bowl.
**Finish and Serve:** Place a generous dollop of prepared guacamole in each bowl. Drizzle generously with the homemade burger sauce. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

* For a touch of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the ground beef seasoning or the burger sauce.

* To save time, the sweet potatoes can be roasted and the ground beef cooked a day in advance and reheated before assembly.

* Ensure sweet potato wedges are cut to a similar size for uniform cooking.

* Customize your bowl with additional toppings such as sautéed mushrooms or a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
