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

Bowls

  • 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

  1. Prepare The Sweet Potatoes: Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into small cubes. Season them with the garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Lightly spray with olive oil and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes or until golden and tender.
  2. Cook The Ground Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef along with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili flakes, and salt. Cook while stirring occasionally until the beef is fully cooked and slightly browned, about 7-10 minutes.
  3. Assemble The Bowls: Divide the cooked sweet potatoes and ground beef evenly between two bowls. Add half of the cubed avocado to each bowl and top each with half a cup of cottage cheese. Drizzle with hot honey and sprinkle chili flakes to taste for added heat and flavor.

Notes

  • Sweet potatoes can be roasted in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes if an air fryer is unavailable.
  • Adjust chili flakes and hot honey according to your preferred spice and sweetness level.
  • This recipe makes two servings but can be easily doubled for meal prep.
  • Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content if desired.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with cooked lentils or plant-based meat alternatives.
