For the Roasted 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
For the Ground Beef
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 taco seasoning packet (about 1 oz)
Additional Ingredients
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tbsp hot honey
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.
- Roast the sweet potatoes: Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 40–45 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Sauté the onions: While the potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil. Sauté the diced yellow onion until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Cook the ground beef: Add the ground beef and taco seasoning to the skillet with onions. Cook, breaking up the beef with a spatula, until the meat is browned and fully cooked through, about 8–10 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Assemble the bowls: In serving bowls, layer the roasted sweet potatoes, ground beef mixture, sliced avocado, and cottage cheese.
- Finish with hot honey: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of hot honey over each bowl for a sweet and spicy kick before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, flip the sweet potatoes halfway through roasting.
- You can substitute the hot honey with regular honey and a dash of cayenne pepper if preferred.
- Using lean ground beef keeps the dish healthier and less greasy.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley as a garnish.
- This recipe can easily be doubled to serve a larger group.
