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

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), sliced
  • 4 Tablespoons hot honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Place the cubed sweet potatoes on a large baking sheet and spray them evenly with avocado oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cinnamon, then toss to coat all pieces evenly.
  3. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
  4. Cook Ground Beef: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in the tomato paste and taco seasoning, cooking until well combined and heated through.
  5. Assemble Bowls: Divide the roasted sweet potatoes and cooked ground beef evenly among four bowls. Top each bowl with 1/2 cup of low-fat cottage cheese, sliced avocado, and drizzle 1 tablespoon of hot honey over the top for a spicy-sweet finish. Serve and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute the taco seasoning with your own blend of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and paprika for a fresher taste.
  • Avocado oil spray helps the sweet potatoes roast crisp without adding excessive fat.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey to your preferred spice level.
  • If avocado is not available, sliced cucumber or a dollop of guacamole also works well.
  • This recipe meal-preps well: store components separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
