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
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 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.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and fork-tender. Stir halfway through roasting for even cooking.
- 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).
- Drain excess grease from the skillet. Stir in chili powder and cumin to season thoroughly. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- In serving dishes or a large platter, layer roasted sweet potatoes topped with seasoned ground beef mixture and garnish with diced bell peppers.
