Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling and dicing two medium sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes. In a mixing bowl, season one pound of ground beef with your choice of spices such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the cubed sweet potatoes evenly on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Roast them for about 25-30 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  3. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned ground beef, cooking for 10-12 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
  4. Assemble your bowl by starting with roasted sweet potatoes as the base, followed by the browned ground beef and a dollop of cottage cheese and sliced avocado.
  5. Drizzle hot honey over the dish to tie all the flavors together. Serve warm.
