Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tbsp neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola oil)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Beef Mixture
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
Toppings
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 2 avocados, cubed or sliced
- 4 tbsp hot honey, or to taste
Instructions
- Prepare and Air Fry Sweet Potatoes: Toss the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes in neutral oil, then season generously with salt and pepper. If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon. Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the sweet potatoes are golden and tender.
- Cook Ground Beef: While the sweet potatoes cook, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Stir in the tomato paste, then sprinkle on the taco seasoning. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and fully cooked through. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the Bowls: Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, divide them evenly among four bowls. Top each bowl with an equal portion of the cooked ground beef. Add a generous scoop of cottage cheese and top with cubed or sliced avocado. Drizzle each bowl with hot honey to add a sweet-spicy finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of hot honey to suit your preferred level of sweetness and heat.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, the sweet potatoes can be roasted in a conventional oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
- For a lower-fat option, use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
- This recipe is great for meal prep; keep components separate until ready to serve.
- Adding fresh chopped cilantro or a squeeze of lime can enhance the flavors further.
