  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 Bowls

Ingredients

Roasted 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 and Garnishes

  • 2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 large avocado (or 2 small), sliced
  • 4 Tablespoons hot honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) 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 cubes thoroughly.
  3. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Roast the seasoned sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning and tenderness.
  4. Cook Ground Beef: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef, breaking it apart, then stir in the tomato paste and taco seasoning. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
  5. Assemble Bowls: Once the sweet potatoes are roasted and beef is ready, build your bowls by layering roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned ground beef, a scoop of low-fat cottage cheese, slices of avocado, and drizzle 1 tablespoon of hot honey over each bowl.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the bowls warm for a flavorful, protein-packed meal that combines sweet, spicy, and savory notes in every bite.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to keep this meal healthier and lower in fat.
  • If hot honey is unavailable, you can create a homemade version by mixing honey with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
  • To save time, prep sweet potatoes ahead of time or use pre-cut frozen cubes.
  • Adjust hot honey quantities to taste depending on your preferred spice level.
  • This dish is naturally gluten-free and can be made dairy-free by substituting cottage cheese with a vegan alternative.
