Instructions
- Preheat a mini waffle maker and spray generously with avocado oil.
- In a large bowl, combine shredded sweet potato, eggs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
- Divide the sweet potato mixture into 4 equal portions. Press one portion into the waffle maker and cook for 7-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat until you have 4 sweet potato waffles to use as buns.
- While the buns cook, combine Greek yogurt, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside.
- Divide the ground beef into 2 loose balls. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place each beef ball onto the skillet and immediately smash thin using a spatula. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until a crust forms. Flip, top each patty with a slice of cheese, and cook another 1-2 minutes until melted.
- Assemble each burger by placing one sweet potato waffle on the bottom, followed by the cheeseburger patty, lettuce, tomato, and a generous spoonful of burger sauce. Top with a second sweet potato waffle bun.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
