Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes
2 Tablespoons olive oil divided
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound lean ground beef
2 Tablespoons Taco seasoning
1 large avocado
2 cups cottage cheese
2 Tablespoons hot honey

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash, peel (if preferred), and dice the sweet potatoes into cubes. Toss them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes or until fork-tender. Prefer air frying? Cook them at 400°F (200°C) for about 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
While the sweet potatoes cook, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it up as it cooks. Cook until browned, then drain any excess grease. Add taco seasoning and a splash of water (about 2 tablespoons) to the browned beef. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Build your bowl: Start with a base of roasted sweet potatoes, then layer on cottage cheese, taco-seasoned ground beef, diced avocado, and drizzle with hot honey. Serve warm.

Notes

Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture and richer flavor.

Flatten the sweet potatoes slightly while roasting if you want crispier edges.

Double the recipe and store ingredients separately for an easy meal prep option.

Warm your cottage cheese briefly if you prefer everything hot.

Don’t skip the hot honey – it’s what takes this bowl over the top.

For meal prep: Store the sweet potatoes and beef in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat the beef and sweet potatoes in the microwave, oven, or air fryer. Add fresh avocado, cottage cheese, and hot honey just before serving.
