Description
A delightful dish combining roasted sweet potatoes, savory ground beef, and fresh toppings for a nutritious weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ lb ground beef (or turkey/lentils)
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- ½ cup pico de gallo
- ¼ cup guacamole
- 2 tbsp sour cream (or a dairy-free alternative)
- Optional: Fresh cilantro, lime wedges, or crumbled cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cubed sweet potato with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes. Flip and roast another 10–15 minutes until golden and tender.
- While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
- Divide roasted sweet potatoes into bowls. Top with seasoned meat, pico de gallo, guacamole, and a dollop of sour cream. Add garnishes if desired.
Notes
For best results, season sweet potatoes with lime zest or a dash of cayenne pepper. Flip the sweet potatoes while roasting for even cooking.
