Roasted Pepper, Halloumi and Sweet Potato Burgers
Grilling the potato and halloumi speeds up the cooking time. Remove halloumi and swap mayo for a plant-based version to make this vegan.
SERVES 4
1 large sweet potato, peeled 2tbsp oil
250g halloumi
4 ciabatta rolls, halved 3 large roasted peppers from a jar, drained and thickly sliced Handful rocket
FOR THE GUACAMOLE

1tbsp extra virgin olive oil Small handful coriander, roughly chopped
FOR THE CHIPOTLE MAYO
4tbsp mayonnaise
1tsp chipotle chilli paste
1 Preheat grill to medium. Cut the sweet potatoes lengthways into 5mm-thick slices. Arrange the slices on a large baking sheet in a single layer and brush with 1tbsp of the oil. Grill for 8min, turning halfway, or until tender. Set aside on a board.
2 Turn up grill to high. Cut halloumi into 8 slices, arrange on the baking sheet and brush with the remaining 1tbsp oil. Grill for 6min, turning halfway, or until golden.
3 Meanwhile, make the guacamole. Halve and destone the avocados, then scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash thoroughly, then stir in the remaining guacamole ingredients and some seasoning. Set aside. Next, mix the chipotle mayo ingredients and set aside.
4 Put the ciabatta rolls on a baking sheet, cut-side up. Grill until light golden.
5 To assemble, spread the guacamole on the bases of the rolls. Divide the sweet potato slices, roasted peppers and halloumi between the bases. Top with the rocket. Spread the chipotle mayo on the cut-side of the ciabatta tops, then lay on to the burgers. Serve.
