Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon cumin
Salt to taste
1 pound ground beef (85/15 lean)
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon black pepper
Salt to taste
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 teaspoon olive oil (for sautéing)
½ cup Greek yogurt
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes.
2. Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
3. While potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium. Add ground beef and break it up with a spatula.
4. Season beef with chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, pepper, and salt. Cook until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
5. In a separate pan, heat a bit of olive oil and sauté the green bell pepper for 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
6. Assemble the bowl: sweet potatoes, ground beef, and sautéed peppers. Top with Greek yogurt and chopped cilantro.
7. Serve immediately or portion into containers for meal prep.
Notes
Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best texture and flavor.
Make sure sweet potatoes are spread out while roasting to avoid steaming.
Spice levels can be adjusted by adding cayenne or hot sauce.
