Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, diced
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil Plus more for cooking
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes or until tender and slightly crispy.
Cooking the Beef
  1. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and bell pepper, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until soft.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet and season with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Serving
  1. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, add them to the skillet with the beef mixture and gently stir to combine everything.
  2. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes

For variations, ground beef can be swapped with ground chicken or turkey. This bowl makes great leftovers and can be stored for up to 3 days in the fridge or frozen for 2 months.
