The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line a large baking tray with parchment paper
  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a medium frying pan, a large bowl, a small bowl & a slotted spoon or tongs

Roast the wedges

  • Cut the sweet potato into wedges
  • Place onto the lined baking tray and toss with 2 tsp oil, a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 20 mins

Make the crema & bake the burgers

  • Remove the husk from the corn, then add to the saucepan. Boil for 8-10 mins, until cooked. Remove with tongs or a slotted spoon
  • Meanwhile, dice the avocado into 1cm chunks, then mash with the back of a fork in the small bowl. Add the yoghurt, a pinch of salt and mix well. Set aside
  • After 20 mins, add the burgers to the potato tray and bake together for another 14-15 mins, until the burgers are cooked through and the sweet potatoes are soft and golden

Char the corn

  • Cut the spring onion into 3cm pieces
  • Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on high heat. Once hot, add the corn and spring onion and cook for 5-6 mins, rotating the corn until golden brown all over
  • Remove from the pan, then stand the cobs on their ends and carefully slice down to remove the kernels. Discard the cobs

Make the salad

  • Halve and de-stone the nectarines, then cut into 6 wedges. Thinly slice the onion. Trim and thinly slice the lettuce
  • Add all to the large bowl with the charred corn, spring onion, juice from the lime, 1 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Check your meat is cooked through; it should be golden brown, steaming hot, the juices should run clear when cut and there should be no pink / rare meat inside
  • Drizzle the chilli paste over the wedges and toss to coat (for those who'd like the heat)
  • Serve the burgers onto plates, with the nectarine salad and sweet potato wedges alongside. Top with a dollop of avocado crema
