Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss diced sweet potatoes with avocado oil spray, salt, paprika, and garlic powder on a baking sheet.
Roast the sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes or until tender and lightly browned.
While potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the ground beef.

Notes
You can substitute cottage cheese with Greek yogurt for a smoother texture. This meal is excellent for meal prep; store components in airtight containers and assemble just before eating. Adjust the hot honey based on your preference for heat.
