Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • Olive oil, divided (for roasting and cooking beef)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more as needed
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound 85/15 ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried mint
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese, divided
  • Avocado, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F
  2. Peel and dice the sweet potato, then spread it out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
  3. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until tender and lightly golden.
  4. While the sweet potato roasts, heat a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the ground beef, granulated garlic, oregano, mint, smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked through.
  5. For meal prep, divide the roasted sweet potatoes and ground beef evenly among 4 containers. Portion ¼ cup cottage cheese into small separate containers or add it to each bowl if serving right away. Garnish with fresh avocado and drizzle the cottage cheese with hot honey just before serving, if desired.
