Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 tbsp hot honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and smoked paprika on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are mahogany-colored and crisp.
  2. Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break into small crumbles. Cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes to develop a deep brown crust.
  3. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Cook until beef is no longer pink and the liquid has evaporated.
  4. Divide the roasted sweet potatoes evenly among four bowls.
  5. Top each bowl with a portion of the seared ground beef.
  6. Add a dollop of cold cottage cheese to the center, then drizzle with hot honey and lime juice. Garnish with sliced green onions and diced avocado.
