Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
1½ pounds sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 teaspoon salt divided
1 teaspoon pepper divided
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon paprika
1 cup cottage cheese low-fat or 2%
1 ripe avocado diced
4 teaspoons hot honey

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle with avocado oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add lean ground beef. Cook, breaking it up as it browns.
Season the beef with the remaining salt, pepper, plus cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Drain off any excess grease.
Divide the sweet potatoes evenly among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with the cooked ground beef, cottage cheese, diced avocado, and drizzle with hot honey.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to cut the sweet potatoes into all roughly the same size so that they cook evenly and at the same time.

If you prefer a creamier texture of cottage cheese, blend it in a blender before adding to the bowls.

This recipe is the best for meal prepping.

Store in individual containers and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave before serving.
