Description
This hearty bowl features roasted sweet potatoes, spiced beef, and creamy cottage cheese—topped with a drizzle of hot honey for bold, balanced flavor.
Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 lb (450 g) ground beef or sliced beef strips
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
2 tablespoons hot honey (or honey + cayenne)
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
2 green onions, sliced
Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
Push beef to one side, add onion and garlic. Cook 2–3 minutes.
Stir in paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes. Add soy sauce and vinegar, mixing to coat. Remove from heat.
Assemble bowls with sweet potatoes and beef. Drizzle with hot honey.
Add cottage cheese, garnish with green onions and herbs. Serve warm.
Notes
Swap in ground turkey or shredded chicken for a lighter version.
Add bell peppers or broccoli for extra veggies.
Use feta instead of cottage cheese for a tangy twist.
Mix honey and cayenne for a quick hot honey substitute.
