Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 4 1/2 cups cubed sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Avocado oil spray
Ground Beef Mixture
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
Toppings
- 2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 large avocado or 2 small avocados, sliced
- 4 tablespoons hot honey
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425 degrees F to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Place the cubed sweet potatoes on a large baking sheet and spray them lightly with avocado oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cinnamon, then toss to evenly coat all pieces.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they develop delicious caramelized edges.
- Cook Ground Beef: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef, taco seasoning, and tomato paste. Cook and stir until the beef is fully cooked and well combined with the seasonings.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the roasted sweet potatoes and cooked ground beef evenly among four bowls. Top each bowl with half a cup of low-fat cottage cheese and slices of avocado. Drizzle each bowl generously with hot honey for a spicy-sweet finish.
Notes
- Flip the sweet potatoes halfway through roasting to get those delicious caramelized edges.
- Warm the hot honey slightly for an even drizzle that melts into every bite.
- Customize your bowl with extra veggies like sautéed spinach, roasted broccoli, or corn to add more texture and nutrition.
- These bowls are perfect for meal prep! Roast the sweet potatoes and cook the beef ahead of time to make assembly quick and easy.
