Description
A comforting bowl featuring roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned ground beef, creamy cottage cheese, and a drizzle of hot honey for a balance of savory and sweet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef (93% lean)
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp)
- 2 tbsp hot honey (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: chopped cilantro, red pepper flakes, a squeeze of lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss diced sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast for 40–45 minutes, stirring halfway, until tender and edges are caramelized.
- Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until soft and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart, for about 6–8 minutes or until fully browned. Stir in taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp), adjust salt and pepper, and cook another minute so flavors meld.
- Assemble bowls: a layer of roasted sweet potatoes on the bottom, then ground beef, avocado slices, and a scoop of cottage cheese.
- Drizzle hot honey generously over each bowl. Add optional garnishes like chopped cilantro, red pepper flakes, and a squeeze of lime if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy while warm.
