Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 small (or 1 large) sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Olive oil spray
Bowl Ingredients
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp chili flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 avocado, cubed
- 1/2 tbsp hot honey
- Chili flakes to taste
Instructions
- Prepare The Sweet Potatoes: Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into small cubes. Season them with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Lightly spray the cubes with olive oil to ensure even cooking and crispiness. Place them in an air fryer and cook at 375°F (190°C) for about 15 minutes or until golden and tender, shaking the basket halfway through for even browning.
- Cook The Ground Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef along with 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir occasionally to break up the meat, cooking until it is fully browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Assemble The Bowls: Divide the cooked sweet potatoes and ground beef evenly into two bowls. Add half of the cubed avocado to each bowl, then top each with 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. Finally, drizzle with half a tablespoon of hot honey and sprinkle chili flakes to your preferred level of spiciness for an added kick.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef to reduce fat content.
- For a vegan version, replace cottage cheese with plant-based yogurt or tofu and use a plant-based ground meat substitute.
- Adjust the chili flakes and hot honey quantity to your desired heat tolerance.
- Double the recipe easily to serve more people.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
