Beef Mixture
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 taco seasoning packet (about 1 oz)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Topping
- Hot honey, to drizzle (approximately 2 tbsp)
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized on the edges.
- Cook the Ground Beef: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the ground beef, season with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper, and cook for 7-10 minutes, breaking the meat apart, until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
- Assemble the Bowl: Divide the roasted sweet potatoes and the seasoned ground beef evenly into serving bowls.
- Add Hot Honey: Drizzle each bowl generously with hot honey to add a spicy-sweet finish. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of hot honey based on your preferred spice level.
- Sweet potatoes can be roasted ahead of time and reheated.
- If you prefer, substitute the taco seasoning with your own mix of chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika.
- To make the dish gluten free, ensure the taco seasoning packet is gluten free or use a homemade blend.
