Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil spray for roasting
  • ½ teaspoon salt for seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon paprika adds mild smokiness
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder for savory depth
  • 1.1 lbs grassfed ground beef for lean flavorful protein
  • ¾ teaspoon salt seasoning
