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

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425 degrees F to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
