Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

2 tbsp hot honey
250 g lean beef mince (I use 5% fat)
Half a pack of taco seasoning (approx 2 tbsp)
200 g cottage cheese
500 g sweet potato
200 g tenderstem broccoli
1 medium avocado
1 tsp salt
1 tsp smoked paprika
Olive oil spray

Directions

Peel the sweet potatoes and chop them into bite-size chunks.
Toss the sweet potato chunks in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, along with the salt and smoked paprika.
For air frying: Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (392°F). Cook the sweet potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, shaking them halfway through.
For oven cooking: Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F) and roast the sweet potatoes on a baking tray for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.
Meanwhile, cook the beef mince in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart. Add the taco seasoning and stir until well combined and cooked through.
To construct the bowls: Start with a base of your roasted sweet potatoes, top with the seasoned beef, add a generous scoop of cottage cheese, and finish with tenderstem broccoli and slices of avocado.
