Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef, lean (90/10–85/15)
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 tbsp hot honey (adjust to taste)
- 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 your 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, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet.
- Roast sweet potatoes for 25–30 minutes, turning once, until tender.
- While the potatoes roast, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
- Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, and season with garlic powder, taco seasoning, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes.
- Drizzle hot honey over the cooked beef and stir until coated.
- To serve, spoon roasted sweet potatoes into bowls, top with hot-honey beef, arrange avocado slices, and add a scoop of cottage cheese.
Notes
If sweet potatoes are small, use three. Cottage cheese can be swapped for Greek yogurt. Adjust hot honey according to desired sweetness.
