- ▢ 2 medium/large sweet potato cubed
- ▢ 2 teaspoon olive or avocado oil

- ▢ pickled onions and/or hot and sweet jalapeños
- Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss cubed sweet potatoes with oil salt, pepper and garlic powder. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. You can also cook these in your air fryer.
- While the sweet potatoes cook heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes. Add taco seasoning and If needed, add a little water for extra moisture.
- Divide roasted sweet potatoes between four bowls. Top with cooked ground beef then spoon cottage cheese over each bowl. Add avocado, hot sauce and a drizzle with hot honey and enjoy!
- Notes
- Storage: Keep the beef sweet potatoes, and toppings like cottage cheese and avocado in separate containers in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat the beef and sweet potatoes, then assemble with fresh toppings before serving.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. For extra crispiness or a quicker option, the sweet potatoes can also be cooked in an air fryer.
- While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6–7 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning. If the beef seems dry, add a small amount of water to keep it moist.
- Divide the roasted sweet potatoes into four bowls. Add the cooked ground beef on top. Spoon cottage cheese over each bowl, then add diced avocado. Drizzle with hot honey and a little hot sauce. Finish with optional pickled onions or jalapeños for extra flavor. Mix before eating for the best taste.
Notes
- Store the beef, roasted sweet potatoes, and toppings (cottage cheese and avocado) in separate containers in the refrigerator for 3–4 days. Reheat the beef and sweet potatoes, then assemble with fresh toppings before serving.
- This recipe works well for preparing multiple bowls ahead of time. Keep the creamy and fresh toppings separate until ready to eat.
