Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small yellow or red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, green), chopped
  • 2 cups spinach or kale
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free, or coconut aminos for lower sodium)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, sesame seeds, sriracha, sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small, even cubes. Toss them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Bake the sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until caramelized and tender.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
  5. Add the ground beef to the skillet and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.
  6. Stir in soy sauce, honey, ground ginger, and a dash of salt and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors blend.
  7. Add the bell peppers and greens. Cook until the greens wilt and the peppers soften, about 3-4 minutes.
  8. Divide the roasted sweet potatoes into bowls. Top with the cooked beef and veggie mixture, and add your favorite toppings like cilantro, sesame seeds, or sriracha.

Notes

[‘Cut sweet potatoes into uniform cubes for even cooking.’, ‘Avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking ground beef to ensure proper browning.’, ‘Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.’, ‘Multitask by preparing the beef and veggies while the sweet potatoes roast.’, ‘Add fresh greens at the end to avoid overcooking.’]
