Recently, there's been a new viral recipe: Hot Honey Beef Bowls. It's a combination of roasted sweet potatoes, sauteed ground beef, avocado, and cottage cheese, all topped with a drizzle of hot honey. Here's my take on the recipe, which is high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats, keeping you feeling satisfied. It even features Homemade Hot Honey!

SWEET POTATOES
- 1 lb (454 g) Sweet potato
- 2 tsp (10 g) Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp (6 g) Paprika
- 1 tsp (3 g) Black pepper, ground
- 1/2 tsp (3 g) Salt

BEEF
- 1 lb (454 g) Ground beef, 93/7
- 1 tbsp (10 g) Chili powder
- 1 tsp (3 g) Cumin, ground
- 1/2 tsp (3 g) Salt
- 1/4 tsp (0.75 g) Cinnamon

SIDES
- 2 small (200 g) Avocado
- 2 cup (454 g) Nonfat cottage cheese

TOPPING
- 2 tbsp (40 g) Hot honey

1. Preheat your oven to 400F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

2. Wash your sweet potatoes, and cut into a medium dice (don't peel them!). Season with oil, paprika, pepper, and salt. Add to a glass bowl, cover with a plate, and microwave for 5 minutes. This will speed up the roasting time

3. Transfer the potatoes to your baking sheet. Roast for about 30 minutes, or until soft and lightly browned. You can also air fry at 400F for 15-20 minutes if you're making a smaller batch

4. When the potatoes have about 10-15 minutes left, start on the beef. Preheat a pan over medium heat, and brown the beef. Season with chili powder, cumin, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside

5. Take out 4 bowls, and add 1/4 of your sweet potatoes to one quadrant, and 1/4 of the beef to another. In the third quadrant, add 1/2 a sliced avocado (50 g). Finally, in the remaining quadrant, add your cottage cheese (1/2 cup, 113 g)

6. Drizzle the top of each bowl with 1/2 tbsp (10 g) hot honey. If you don't have hot honey, you can use regular honey, and add a dash of hot sauce

7. With sweet potatoes, avocado, ground beef, and cottage cheese, this recipe is a great source of complex carbs, healthy fats, and protein. It's lacking a bit in the vegetable area, so serve this with a side of roasted vegetables or a side salad
