Ingredients
2 medium/large sweet potatoes, cubed
2 teaspoons olive or avocado oil
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
1 pound lean ground beef (90/10 recommended)
2–3 tablespoons taco seasoning (adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons water (if needed)
1 cup cottage cheese (Good Culture recommended)
1 avocado, chopped
4 teaspoons hot honey
Hot sauce (to taste)
Pickled onions and/or hot and sweet jalapeños (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. (Air fryer option: cook at 400°F for 15–20 minutes, shaking halfway.)
- While potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking apart with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 6–7 minutes.
- Stir in taco seasoning and add 1–2 tablespoons water if needed to moisten the beef.
- Divide roasted sweet potatoes evenly into four bowls.
- Top with cooked ground beef, then add cottage cheese and chopped avocado.
- Drizzle hot honey and hot sauce over the bowls, and finish with optional pickled onions or jalapeños.
Notes
- Make it vegetarian by swapping beef for lentils, tofu, or tempeh.
- Substitute sweet potatoes with butternut squash or carrots for variety.
- Swap cottage cheese with Greek yogurt or hummus for a different twist.
- Adjust heat level with more or less hot honey and hot sauce.
- Store beef and sweet potatoes separately; add avocado and cottage cheese fresh before serving.
