    Roast in hot oven until slightly browned, 28-30 minutes, tossing fries halfway through.

    Carefully remove from oven. Stir in piri piri seasoning (to taste) until coated. Sheet will be hot! Use a utensil.

    While fries roast, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare Ingredients and Make Sauce

    Drain pineapples in a colander/strainer and finely chop.

    Peel and halve shallot. Slice thinly.

    In a mixing bowl, combine BBQ sauce and pesto (to taste). Set aside.

    Form ground beef into 2 equally-sized patties, 5" across. Season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

    Toast the Buns
