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 1½ pounds sweet potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle with 1 tablespoon avocado oil and season with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon 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 1 pound lean ground beef. Cook, breaking it up as it browns.
- Season the beef with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, plus ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, and ½ teaspoon paprika. Drain off any excess grease.
- Divide the sweet potatoes evenly among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with the cooked ground beef, ¼ cup cottage cheese, ¼ of the diced avocado, and drizzle with 1 teaspoon 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.
