1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 tsp smoked paprika
-
½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp cumin

Salt & pepper to taste

2 cups cottage cheese

Instructions
-
Roast the Sweet Potatoes
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt & pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast 25–30 mins, flipping halfway until golden and tender. -
Cook the Beef
In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef for 8–10 mins. Season with salt, pepper, and extra cumin if desired. Drain excess fat. -
Assemble the Bowls
Divide cottage cheese, roasted sweet potatoes, beef, and avocado evenly among 4 containers. Add toppings of choice—hot sauce for spice or honey for balance. -
Serve or Store
Enjoy warm or cold! For reheating, warm the beef and potatoes separately before adding cottage cheese and avocado. Keeps fresh in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Notes
-
Blend cottage cheese for a smooth, ricotta-like texture.
-
Squeeze lime over avocado to prevent browning.
-
Don’t overcrowd sweet potatoes—spread them out for that perfect crisp.
