Cooking Steps

Bake the kūmara fries
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut kūmara into fries, then place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Spread out evenly, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice onion (see ingredients). Slice tomato into rounds. Cut bacon into 1cm pieces. • Cut halloumi into 1cm-thick slices.

Make the bacon jam
3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion and bacon until softened and browned, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and a splash of water and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.

Cook the halloumi
4

• Wipe out the frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • SPICY! The spice blend is mild, but use less if you're sensitive to heat. Cook halloumi and All-American spice blend until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side. • Add BBQ sauce and a splash of water, stirring, until well combined, 1 minute.

Bring it all together
5

• Meanwhile, halve burger buns and bake directly on a wire oven rack until heated through, 2-3 minutes. • In a medium bowl, combine mixed salad leaves and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season. Little cooks: Kids can help dress the salad.

Finish & serve
6

• Top bun bases with some bacon jam. Spread bun tops with mayonnaise. • Top buns with American halloumi, tomato and mixed salad leaves. • Serve with kūmara fries. Enjoy! Little cooks: Take the lead and help build the burgers!
