Ingredients
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 for coating
Ground Beef
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 Tablespoon taco seasoning
Bowls Assembly
- 2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 large avocado (or 2 small), sliced
- 4 Tablespoons hot honey
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes perfectly.
- Add Oil to Sweet Potatoes: Place the cubed sweet potatoes on a large baking sheet and spray them generously with avocado oil to ensure they roast nicely without sticking.
- Coat With Seasoning: Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and cinnamon over the sweet potatoes, then toss them carefully to make sure every cube is evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Roast in Oven: Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to promote even browning and tenderness.
- Cook Ground Beef: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef along with the tomato paste and taco seasoning. Cook, breaking up the beef, until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
- Assemble Bowls: To serve, divide the roasted sweet potatoes and cooked ground beef evenly among four bowls. Add a generous scoop of low-fat cottage cheese, top with sliced avocado, and drizzle each bowl with hot honey for a sweet and spicy finish. Enjoy your flavorful and comforting bowl!
Notes
- If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of hot honey or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the ground beef while cooking.
- Avocado oil spray helps achieve crispy roasted sweet potatoes but you can substitute with olive oil if unavailable.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute cottage cheese with a vegan cheese or omit it entirely.
- Leftover components can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 3 days for easy meal prep.
