Ingredients
Scale
For the Roasted Sweet Potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Pinch of black pepper
For the Ground Beef
- 1 lb lean ground beef (93% preferred)
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 taco seasoning packet (or 2 tbsp homemade taco seasoning)
For the Assembly
- 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 tbsp hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional garnishes: chopped cilantro, red pepper flakes, lime wedge
Instructions
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into even small cubes for optimal roasting. In a bowl, toss them with 1 tablespoon olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure golden, caramelized edges and a tender interior.
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the ground beef to the skillet and break it apart with a spatula. Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the beef and stir well. Cook until the beef is fully browned with no pink remaining, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the roasted sweet potatoes as the base. Top with the cooked, seasoned ground beef, then add sliced avocado and a generous scoop of cottage cheese.
- Add Hot Honey and Garnish: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of hot honey over each bowl to add a sweet and spicy kick. Optionally garnish with chopped cilantro, red pepper flakes, or a wedge of lime for extra brightness and heat balance. Serve immediately, or store components separately for meal prep.
Notes
- For extra creaminess, blend the cottage cheese before adding it to the bowl.
- Adjust the amount of hot honey according to preferred spice level.
- Store the roasted potatoes, ground beef, and fresh toppings separately to maintain texture when reheating.
- Works great as a make-ahead meal prep dish for lunches or dinners.
