Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce.
Cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch wedges. Toss sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in the middle of the oven, flipping halfway through cooking, until golden-brown, 22-24 min.
While the sweet potatoes roast, roughly chop the dill. Grate cucumber directly into a small bowl. Season with salt. Drain liquid from grated cucumber. Add yogurt and dill. Season with pepper, then stir to combine. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then falafel. Cook, turning occasionally, until golden-brown and crispy, 6-7 min.
While falafel cooks, cut tomato into 1/4-inch rounds. Halve the rolls. Arrange them cut-side up on another baking sheet. Toast in the top of the oven, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!)
Spread hummus over the top rolls. Spread tzatziki over the bottom rolls, then top with pickles, tomatoes, falafel, spring mix and top rolls.
Divide falafel burgers and sweet potatoes between plates. Serve any remaining tzatziki on the side, for dipping.
