• 0.5 tsp (1 g) black pepper
• 1.5 cups (340 g) cottage cheese
• 1 large, diced avocado
• 0.25 cup (80 g) hot honey

Cooking instructions

1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with the olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, then spread them in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. (about 5 min) — 425°F (220°C)
2. Roast the sweet potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until browned at the edges and tender when pierced with a fork. (about 30 min) — 425°F (220°C)
3. While the potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, breaking the beef into small crumbles, for 7 to 9 minutes, until browned and no longer pink. For food safety, verify the thickest crumbles reach 160°F (71°C) with an instant-read thermometer. (about 9 min) — Medium-high
4. Divide the roasted sweet potatoes and cooked beef among four bowls. Add the cottage cheese and diced avocado. (about 3 min)
