Ingredients
Scale
- → For the Sweet Potatoes:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (½ to ¾-inch)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- → For the Ground Beef:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 lb lean ground beef (93/7)
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade)
- 2 tbsp hot honey
- → For the Bowls:
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). On a baking sheet, toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping once, until tender and crispy.
- Cook Beef: While potatoes roast, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart. Drain any fat.
- Season Beef: Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and stir in the hot honey until the beef is fully coated.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the roasted sweet potatoes among four bowls. Top with the hot honey ground beef, a scoop of cottage cheese, and sliced avocado. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
- Don’t Crowd the Pan: Use a large baking sheet for the sweet potatoes to ensure they get crispy.
- Control the Heat: Adjust the amount of hot honey to your preferred spice level.
- Meal Prep: Store the cooked beef and potatoes separately in the fridge for up to 4 days for easy assembly.
- Make it Your Own: Feel free to add other toppings like black beans, corn, or pickled red onions.
