Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 4 cups)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10 or 93/7)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (only if needed)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp hot honey (plus more for drizzle)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or lime juice)
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (extra heat)
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (about 1/2 cup per bowl)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Optional: chopped cilantro or green onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, and pepper. Spread on a sheet pan and roast 22–28 minutes, flipping halfway, until browned and slightly charred on edges.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook 6–8 minutes, breaking it up, until browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
  3. Add garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, pepper (and red pepper flakes if using). Cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in hot honey, soy sauce, and vinegar. Simmer 1–2 minutes until the beef looks glossy and sticky.
  5. Divide roasted sweet potatoes between 2 bowls. Add hot honey beef, then a scoop of cottage cheese and sliced avocado.
  6. Drizzle with a little extra hot honey (and optional cilantro/green onion) and enjoy.

Notes

  • Adjust spice level by adding or reducing red pepper flakes.
  • For a dairy-free option, omit cottage cheese or substitute with a non-dairy alternative.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
