Ingredients
- For the Roasted Sweet Potatoes:
- 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- For the Ground Beef:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon 7 spice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Fresh Toppings:
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup diced cucumber
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sliced radishes
- 1/4 cup sliced red onions
- 1/4 cup olives (Kalamata or green)
- 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbles
- Hot honey (optional)
- Hummus (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast sweet potatoes for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
- While potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Stir in the 7 spice, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Continue cooking until beef is fully cooked and fragrant. Remove from heat.
- To assemble bowls, start with a layer of roasted sweet potatoes, followed by ground beef, then top with cottage cheese, cucumber, tomatoes, radishes, red onions, olives, and feta.
- Optional: Add a dollop of hummus and a drizzle of hot honey before serving.
Notes
- For extra heat, add chili flakes or harissa to the beef while cooking.
- Make it dairy-free by omitting feta and cottage cheese or using plant-based alternatives.
- Can be prepped in advance and stored in separate containers for easy assembly.
- 7 spice can be substituted with a mix of allspice, cinnamon, black pepper, and cumin if unavailable.
