Cooking Steps

Bake the sweet potato fries
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut sweet potato into fries. • Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the fries between two trays.

Prep the veggies
2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice brown onion. • Thinly slice tomato into half-moons. • In a large bowl, combine half the tomato and half the baby spinach leaves. Set aside. Little cooks: Don your goggles and have a go at peeling off the onion's outer layer!

Prep the patties
3

• In a medium bowl, combine beef burger patties, Italian herbs (see ingredients) and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook the patties
4

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook patties until just cooked through, 6-7 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).

Caramelise the onion
5

• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar (for the onion), the brown sugar and a splash of water. Mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. • Meanwhile, halve bake-at-home burger buns and bake directly on a wire oven rack until heated through, 2-3 minutes.

Step 6: Finish & serve
6

• To the salad, add the balsamic vinegar (for the salad) and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to coat, then season to taste. • Spread burger bun bases with a layer of creamy pesto dressing. • Top with herby chicken, some caramelised onion and remaining tomato and baby spinach leaves. • Serve with sweet potato fries and salad. Enjoy! Little cooks: Take the lead and help build the burgers.
