Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Step 2: Roast the sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
Step 3: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned. Drain any excess fat.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the hot honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar.
Step 5: Pour the hot honey mixture over the cooked ground meat in the skillet. Stir well to coat the meat evenly and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and glaze the meat.
Step 6: To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each with a serving of hot honey ground meat, roasted sweet potatoes, sliced avocado, and a dollop of cottage cheese.
Step 7: Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and sliced green onions before serving. Enjoy your delicious and satisfying protein bowls!
