- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1½ teaspoons all-purpose seasoning salt

- 2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- Hot honey for drizzling

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes, avocado oil, kosher salt, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to the pan. Toss until evenly coated.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly caramelized.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into crumbles until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
- Sprinkle the seasoning salt over the beef and stir well to coat evenly.
- Assemble each Sweet Potato Beef Bowl by dividing the roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned beef, and black beans among four bowls.
- Top each bowl with ½ cup cottage cheese, one-quarter of the avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Finish with a light drizzle of hot honey, freshly ground black pepper, and an optional sprinkle of kosher salt before serving.
Notes
- Use pepper jack cheese for extra heat.
- Pinto beans or kidney beans work well instead of black beans.
- Add sliced jalapeños for additional spice.
- Fresh cilantro and lime juice make excellent garnishes.
- Store ingredients separately if preparing several meal prep bowls for the week.
