Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Toss the sweet potato in the oil on a large baking tray and roast for 20 mins.
Meanwhile, mix the mince, garlic and onion together until well combined. Shape into 2 beef patties, roughly 1cm thick, and place on a baking tray.
Preheat the grill to high. Cook the burgers under the grill for 5 mins on each side. Top with the Cheddar and grill for 1-2 mins until melted.
Fill the baps with the mayonnaise, lettuce, beef patties and tomato. Serve with the sweet potato wedges and any extra lettuce and tomato on the side.
