Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes peeled and cubed to bite-sized
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground pepper
- 4 tsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp homemade taco seasoning (see recipe)
- 1 lb 95% lean ground beef or turkey, chicken, veggie crumbles
- 1 avocado
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 2 tbsp hot honey (see recipe)
- 1 lime
- 2 cups cottage cheese or dairy-free (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F degrees. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium sized bowl, add the cubed sweet potatoes and drizzle with half the oil and half the salt and pepper. Toss with hands or a spoon and spread out on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15 minutes.
- While the sweet potatoes cook, prepare the broccoli in the same bowl. Toss the broccoli with remaining oil, salt, and pepper.
- Remove the sweet potatoes and flip them over while also pushing them to one side of the baking sheet. Add the broccoli in a single layer to the other half. Bake for another 15 minutes or until sweet potatoes are lightly browned and broccoli is crisp and slightly charred.
- As the vegetables bake, cook the ground beef or whatever meat you're using. Heat a skillet over medium high heat and drizzle with a little oil. Once heated, add the ground beef and taco seasoning, stirring and breaking the meat apart while it cooks for about 7-10 minutes.
- Assemble the bowls:
- Grab a bowl or container if you're meal prepping and add sweet potatoes, broccoli, ground beef, cottage cheese(optional), and some avocado chunks. Drizzle with hot honey, fresh cilantro, and a little lime juice.
