Ingredients
- 1¼ pounds sweet potatoes diced
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1½ teaspoons all-purpose seasoning salt
- 16 ounces cottage cheese 2% or low-fat
- 6 ounces cooked black beans drained
- 1 small ripe avocado sliced or diced
- 2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- Hot honey for drizzling
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes to the baking sheet. Drizzle with avocado oil and season with kosher salt, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Toss well until evenly coated.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring or rotating the pan halfway through cooking, until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly browned.
- While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
- Continue cooking until the beef is fully browned and no pink remains. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Sprinkle the seasoning salt over the beef and stir well to coat evenly.
- Assemble the Sweet Potato Beef Bowl with Hot Honey by dividing the roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned ground beef, and black beans among four shallow bowls.
- Add approximately ½ cup cottage cheese to each bowl.
- Top each bowl with avocado and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Drizzle with hot honey and finish with freshly ground black pepper. Add a pinch of kosher salt over the avocado, cottage cheese, and beans if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Replace black beans with pinto beans or kidney beans.
- Pepper Jack cheese can be used instead of cheddar for added spice.
- Greek yogurt can replace cottage cheese if desired.
- Serve alongside a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
- Add corn, cherry tomatoes, or red onion for extra texture and color.
