It doesn’t get more classic than a beef & halloumi burger and fries – why don’t we add a twist? A lightly spiced beef mince patty sits atop a perfectly toasted bun with a flavourful pesto slaw.

Cooking Steps
• Preheat air fryer to 200°C. Cut kūmara into fries. In a medium bowl, combine kūmara, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. • Place fries evenly into the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes. Shake the basket, then cook until golden, a further 10-15 minutes. Cook in batches if needed. TIP: No air fryer? Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Bake until just tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Thinly slice tomato. Cut halloumi into 1cm-thick slices. • In a large bowl, combine garlic, beef mince, fine breadcrumbs, classic roast seasoning and the egg, then season with salt and pepper. • Shape beef mixture into 2cm-thick patties (1 patty per person). Transfer to a plate.
• When the fries have 15 minutes cook time remaining, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook halloumi until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook beef patties until just cooked through, 4-5 minutes each side. • Meanwhile, halve burger buns and bake directly on a wire oven rack until heated through, 2-3 minutes. TIP: If your patties begin to char, reduce the heat to medium.
• In a medium bowl, combine creamy pesto dressing and slaw mix. • Top burger buns with a beef patty, halloumi, some tomato and slaw. Serve with kūmara fries. Enjoy!
