Description

A vibrant, nutrient-packed bowl featuring savory ground beef, sweet roasted potatoes, and colorful veggies, perfect for quick weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium red onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Toss until well-coated. Spread them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and fork-tender. Stir halfway through roasting for even cooking.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, garlic, and red onion. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Drain excess grease from the skillet. Stir in chili powder and cumin to season thoroughly. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. In serving dishes or a large platter, layer roasted sweet potatoes topped with seasoned ground beef mixture and garnish with diced bell peppers.
