Directions

1. Step 1Preheat grill to medium. Cut the sweet potatoes lengthways into 5mm-thick slices. Arrange the slices on a large baking sheet in a single layer and brush with 1tbsp of the oil. Grill for 8min, turning halfway, or until tender. Set aside on a board.

4. Step 4Put the ciabatta rolls on a baking sheet, cut-side up, and grill until light golden.
5. Step 5To assemble, spread the guacamole on the bases of the rolls. Divide the roasted pepper, sweet potato slices and halloumi between the bases. Top with the rocket. Spread the chipotle mayo on the cut-side of the ciabatta tops, then lay on to the burgers. Serve.
