Ingredients
Scale
Beef
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Sweet Potato
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Other
- 2 tablespoons hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup cottage cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.
- Cook the Beef: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Assemble the Bowl: Divide the roasted sweet potatoes and cooked beef between serving bowls. Drizzle hot honey evenly over the top.
- Add Cottage Cheese: Finish each bowl by topping with a generous scoop of cottage cheese, adding a creamy contrast to the sweet and spicy flavors.
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Adjust the amount of hot honey to control the level of sweetness and heat.
- This bowl can be made ahead by cooking all components and assembling just before serving.
- For extra texture, add toasted nuts or seeds as a topping.
- Sweet potatoes can be microwaved to save time but roasting enhances flavor.
