Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.
- Season Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Toss well until each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes evenly onto a large baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 45 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
- Cook Onions: While the sweet potatoes are roasting and nearing completion, heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat on the stove. Add the diced onions, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for 5 to 10 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Prepare Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the pan with the cooked onions. Brown the beef thoroughly, breaking it up with a spoon. Once cooked, stir in the taco seasoning according to the package instructions, mixing well to coat the meat evenly.
- Assemble Bowls: In serving bowls, evenly divide the roasted sweet potatoes, taco-seasoned ground beef, cottage cheese, and diced or sliced avocado. Drizzle each bowl with hot honey to taste.
- Serve: Serve your hot honey ground beef bowls immediately for the best flavor experience. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of hot honey to suit your preferred spice and sweetness level.
- If you prefer a vegan version, substitute ground beef with plant-based crumbles and cottage cheese with a dairy-free alternative.
- For extra texture, consider adding a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro or green onions on top.
- Leftover roasted sweet potatoes and ground beef can be stored separately and combined later for quick meal prep.
- If you don’t have hot honey, mix honey with a small amount of chili flakes or hot sauce as a substitute.
