Ingredients
1 large sweet potato, cut into 3/4-in. wedges
1 large red onion, cut into 3/4-in. rounds
1 tbsp canola oil
1/2 cup 2% Greek yogurt
2 1/2 tbsp harissa paste, divided
400 g lean ground beef
1/4 tsp salt
4 slices mozzarella
4 hamburger buns, halved
2 cups baby arugula
Instructions
PREHEAT barbecue to medium. Arrange sweet potato and onion in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with oil, tossing to coat and keeping onion rounds intact.
COMBINE 1/4 cup yogurt and 1/2 tbsp harissa in a small bowl. Set aside. Combine beef and remaining 1/4 cup yogurt, remaining 2 tbsp harissa and salt in a large bowl. Divide into 4 portions, then shape into 4 1/2-in.-wide patties. (Mixture will be wet.)
OIL grill. Arrange sweet potato and onion on one side of grill. Cook, with lid closed, until slightly charred on the outside and a paring knife is easily inserted[O] , 5 to 6 min per side. (Flip onion carefully to keep rings together.)
GRILL burgers 2 min, then flip and top with cheese. Cook until no longer pink in the centre and cheese is melted, about 2 more min. Serve burgers on buns, topped with grilled onion and arugula, alongside sweet potato. Add reserved harissa yogurt to burgers or use as dip for sweet potato.
