Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Ground Beef Mixture

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 taco seasoning packet

Assembly

  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tbsp hot honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper ensuring an even coating. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer for roasting.
  3. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 40 to 45 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, turning halfway through if needed.
  4. Sauté Onions: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil and sauté the diced onion until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  5. Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef and taco seasoning to the skillet with onions. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon until the beef is fully browned and cooked through, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  6. Assemble Bowls: In serving bowls, start with a base layer of roasted sweet potatoes, then add the seasoned ground beef mixture on top. Arrange avocado slices on each bowl and spoon cottage cheese alongside.
  7. Drizzle Hot Honey: Finish by drizzling 2 tablespoons of hot honey over each bowl just before serving to add a delightful sweet heat contrast to the savory ingredients.

Notes

  • You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based meat for a leaner or vegetarian option.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey to taste depending on your preferred spice and sweetness level.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes in a single layer for even cooking and caramelization.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
