• 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.
• 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.

mixture into patties!

• When the fries have 15 minutes cook time remaining, heat a large frying pan 
over 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 second medium bowl, combine creamy pesto dressing and slaw mix.
• Top burger buns with a beef patty, some tomato and slaw. Serve with 
kūmara fries. Enjoy!
