Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Fresh Items

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Protein

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 cup cottage cheese

Condiments & Oils

  • ¼ cup hot honey (honey mixed with chili flakes or cayenne pepper)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash, peel, and dice the sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes for even cooking. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  2. Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Spread the sweet potato cubes evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Create the Hot Honey Drizzle: In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup honey with chili flakes or cayenne pepper to your preferred heat level. Stir well.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: Layer the roasted sweet potatoes at the base of your bowl. Top with the cooked ground beef, then add a generous scoop of cottage cheese. Drizzle with the hot honey and finish with sliced avocado on top.

Notes

  • For a healthier version, use ground turkey or plant-based crumbles instead of ground beef.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt for cottage cheese if you prefer a tangy flavor.
  • You can make your own hot honey by mixing honey with your favorite chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
  • Shallots can be used in place of onions for a milder taste.
  • Guacamole can replace sliced avocado for added creaminess and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey to suit your heat tolerance.
