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, as needed
Ground Beef
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
Assembly
- 2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 large avocado (or 2 small), sliced
- 4 tablespoons hot honey
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.
- Add Oil to Sweet Potatoes: Place the cubed sweet potatoes on a large baking sheet and lightly spray them with avocado oil to help with roasting and crispiness.
- Coat With Seasoning: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and cinnamon over the sweet potatoes. Toss well to ensure the cubes are evenly coated with seasoning.
- Roast in Oven: Roast the seasoned sweet potatoes in the oven for 30 minutes. Be 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 and cook until it begins to brown. Stir in the tomato paste and taco seasoning, cooking until fully combined and the beef is cooked through.
- Assemble Bowls: In each bowl, layer the roasted sweet potatoes, cooked ground beef, low-fat cottage cheese, and sliced avocado. Drizzle generously with hot honey over the top for a perfect blend of sweet and spicy flavors. Serve immediately and enjoy!
