Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer according to its manufacturer instructions.
2. Air-fry the Simple Truth crinkle fries without added oil according to the package directions, shaking the basket halfway through, until crisp and golden.
3. Meanwhile, cook the ground beef in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with half of the garlic powder, the onion powder, salt, and pepper. Break it into crumbles and cook until no pink remains.
4. Stir together the Greek yogurt, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, smoked paprika, and the remaining garlic powder to make the burger sauce.
5. Arrange the romaine, tomato, pickles, crispy crinkle fries, and cooked beef in a bowl.
6. Sprinkle with cheddar and drizzle with the burger sauce.

40/400 Notes

• Weigh the frozen fries before cooking for the most consistent serving and nutrition estimate.
• Keep the sauce and hot ingredients separate for meal prep, then assemble after reheating.
• The pickle juice thins the yogurt and gives the sauce a tangy, Big Mac-style burger flavor without mayonnaise.
• Nutrition is approximate and varies by beef, cheese, ketchup, and yogurt brand.
