Instructions
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 425° F. and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Put the sweet potato cubes onto the sheet pan. Drizzle with the avocado oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Use your hands to toss them together until they're coated in the oil and spices.
- Roast the sweet potatoes for 25-30 minutes or until they're tender. Toss them around halfway through the cooking time.
Sloppy Joe Meat
- While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Drizzle a little oil into the skillet then add in the ground beef and onion.
- Crumble and cook the beef. Once the beef is cooked through and the onions are tender, add in the dried spices, salt and pepper. Stir everything together.
- Pour in the tomato sauce, ketchup, worcestershire, and honey. Stir until everything is coated in the sauce. Turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally or until the sauce is thick.
Assembling
- Divide the sloppy joe mixture evenly into bowl along with the sweet potatoes. Top with dill pickle slices and red onions or topping of your choice. Serve immediately.
