Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, then toss them with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Spread on the sheet pan.
  3. Roast the sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even caramelization.
  4. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the lean ground beef until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Drain excess fat, then stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper; cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Warm honey in a small saucepan, then stir in red pepper flakes and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Assemble your bowls starting with rice or quinoa as the base, followed by roasted sweet potatoes and seasoned beef.
  8. Drizzle hot honey over the top and serve warm.
