Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and dice the sweet potatoes into uniform, bite-sized pieces. Toss with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Spread onto a baking sheet and roast for 40-45 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Sauté the diced yellow onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add ground beef and taco seasoning, cooking for 6-8 minutes until browned.
  4. In serving bowls, create a base of roasted sweet potatoes, top with seasoned ground beef, avocado slices, and a scoop of cottage cheese.
  5. Drizzle hot honey over the bowl, mixing in for sweetness and spice. Serve immediately.
