Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create a boat shape. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then place them cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, seasoning with salt and pepper until browned.
- In a small bowl, mix honey and hot sauce to create the sweet-spicy drizzle.
- Once the sweet potatoes are done, flip them over and fill each boat with cooked ground beef and cottage cheese.
- Top with avocado slices and drizzle with the honey sauce.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure not to scoop out too much flesh from the sweet potatoes; you still want some to hold the filling well. Adjust the honey and hot sauce to suit your taste.
