Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In the meantime, prepare the sweet potatoes by peeling and cutting them into ½-inch cubes.
- In a bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with avocado oil spray, a pinch of salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and chili powder, ensuring that all pieces are evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes onto a baking tray in a single layer and roast them in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it's nicely browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
- Season the cooked beef with salt, onion powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and chili powder. Mix well to combine, then gently fold in the cottage cheese and crushed red pepper until fully incorporated.
- To assemble your bowls, start with a base of roasted sweet potatoes, top with the cottage cheese and beef mixture, and finish with slices of avocado. Drizzle with hot honey for a touch of sweetness.

For added crunch, consider topping your bowl with some fresh cilantro or a sprinkle of tortilla chips.
