Make
- Preheat oven to 500F (260C) degrees.
- Place sweet potatoes in a sheet pan and then cover tightly with foil. Bake for 10 minutes on top rack.
- Place patties on a sheet pan and then brush with cooking oil and salt and pepper.
- After sweet potatoes have steamed for 10 minutes, take them out and toss with olive oil and a generous sprinkle of salt. Roast for another 10 to 15 minutes uncovered, giving them a shake midway through. At the same time put the patties in on the bottom rack. Bake the patties for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Toast buns in the last few minutes of cooking. Slice avocados and tomatoes.
- Let everyone assemble their own burgers with as much hot sauce aioli as they want! Finish sweet potato fries with more salt if you want. Serve hot dipped in ketchup.
