- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get ready for roasting the sweet potatoes.
- Season Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Cook Ground Beef: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the roasted sweet potatoes evenly among four serving bowls. Top each with the cooked ground beef.

Notes
- For additional nutrients and flavor, add sliced avocado or fresh spinach to the bowl.
- If you prefer a leaner protein, ground turkey is a great substitute for the ground beef.
