Description
A comforting bowl featuring caramelized sweet potatoes, spiced ground beef, creamy cottage cheese, and ripe avocado drizzled with hot honey.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef, lean
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 avocado
- 2 tbsp hot honey
- 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Taco seasoning, to taste (about 1–2 tbsp)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel or scrub the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes until tender and slightly crisp at the edges.
- While the potatoes roast, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Dice the yellow onion. Add it to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
- Add the ground beef, breaking it into pieces with a spatula. Sprinkle garlic powder, taco seasoning, cinnamon, salt, and pepper over the meat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is evenly browned and cooked through.
- Drizzle the hot honey over the cooked beef and stir well so the meat becomes glossy and slightly sticky. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- To serve: spoon roasted sweet potatoes into bowls. Top with the hot-honey beef, arrange avocado slices, and finish with a generous scoop of cottage cheese.
Notes
Use lean ground beef to limit excess grease. If you don’t have hot honey, mix regular honey with a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne.
