Hot Honey Cottage Cheese Sweet Potato Beef Bowl

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 220 °C / 425 °F. Toss the sweet potato with 2 teaspoons olive oil, half of the smoked paprika, half of the garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Spread on a sheet pan and roast for 25 to 30 minutes at 220 °C / 425 °F, flipping halfway, until tender and browned at the edges.

2. 2

   While the sweet potato roasts, make the hot honey by stirring together the honey, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes, if using, in a small bowl. Set aside.

3. 3

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining olive oil and the ground beef. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula, until nicely browned and fully cooked through.

4. 4

   Season the beef with the remaining smoked paprika, remaining garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook 1 more minute to blend the flavors, then remove from the heat.

5. 5

   Divide the cottage cheese between two bowls. Top with the roasted sweet potato and cooked beef, arranging each component in sections for the classic bowl presentation.

6. 6

   Finish with the hot honey drizzled over the top and sprinkle with the chopped chives or green onion. Serve right away.

7. 7

   If you prefer the bowl warm rather than hot, let the sweet potato and beef rest for 2 minutes before assembling so the cottage cheese does not heat up too much.
