Ingredients
- For the Sweet Potatoes:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- For the Beef:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 red onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- For Serving:
- ¾ cup cottage cheese
- Hot honey
- Avocado
- Red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Roast or Air Fry the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (if using an air fryer, no need to preheat). In a medium bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer to the air fryer basket, or spread onto a rimmed baking sheet. Air fry at 400°F for 12 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally, until tender and slightly browned at the edges. Or, roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Brown the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add ground beef, onion, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon until browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes.
- Assemble the Bowls: Create a bed of sweet potatoes on each plate. Top with a scoop of the cooked beef, a generous scoop of cottage cheese, sliced avocado, a drizzle of hot honey, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option in place of ground beef.
- If you prefer, you can add other vegetables like roasted bell peppers or zucchini to the bowls.
- For added crunch, top with chopped nuts or seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
