Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Total: 30 minutes
Servings: 3 servings
Ingredients
For the Sweet Potatoes:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes cut into 1/2-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: If roasting in the oven, preheat to 400°F (if using an air fryer, no need to preheat). In a medium bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with the oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer to the air fryer basket, or spread onto a rimmed baking sheet in an even layer. Air fry at 400°F for 12 minutes, shaking the basket a few times throughout, until the potatoes are tender and darkening at the edges (or roast in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through).
- Brown the beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the beef, onion, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook, using a sturdy wooden spoon or heatproof spatula to break up the beef. Continue browning until the beef is cooked through, about 7 minutes.
- Assemble the bowls: Make a bed of sweet potatoes on your plate. Top with a scoop of the beef, a generous scoop of cottage cheese, sliced avocado, a big drizzle of hot honey, and sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- TO STORE: Refrigerate the ground beef and sweet potatoes in one container and the rest of the components in a separate container. The beef and potatoes will last up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
- TO REHEAT: Warm the ground beef and sweet potatoes in a nonstick skillet or in the microwave.
