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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.
- 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 thoroughly.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, making sure to flip them halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Cook Ground Beef: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef, tomato paste, and taco seasoning. Cook until the beef is fully browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
- Assemble Bowls: Once the sweet potatoes are roasted and the beef is cooked, assemble each bowl by layering roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned ground beef, cottage cheese, sliced avocado, and finish with a drizzle of hot honey on top for a perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the bowls warm and enjoy a nutritious, protein-packed meal with an exciting flavor combination.
