Instructions
Roast the sweet potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional spices. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
Cook the ground meat:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you like.
Prepare the avocado:
Slice the avocados just before assembling to keep them fresh and vibrant.
Assemble the bowls:
Divide the roasted sweet potatoes and cooked ground meat into serving bowls. Add a generous scoop of cottage cheese and top with fresh avocado slices.
Finish with flavor:
Drizzle hot honey over the top for that perfect sweet-and-spicy kick.
