Hot Honey Street Corn Ground Beef Bowls

Ingredients

• 2 sweet potatoes (large, peeled and cubed)
• 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
• 1 lb ground beef (lean (90/10 recommended))
• 2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
• 1 tbsp honey
• 0.5 tsp red chili flakes (adjust for heat preference)
• 1 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• salt and black pepper (to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. 2

   Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper on the prepared baking sheet. Spread them in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned at the edges.

3. 3

   While the potatoes roast, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 7-10 minutes). Season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Drain any excess fat.

4. 4

   In a separate small skillet or the same skillet (if beef is removed), char the corn kernels over high heat for 3-5 minutes until they develop golden-brown spots.

5. 5

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, red chili flakes, and lime juice to create the hot honey dressing.

6. 6

   Stir the charred corn into the hot honey dressing until well coated.

7. 7

   Assemble the bowls by dividing the roasted sweet potatoes and seasoned ground beef among four bowls. Top each with a generous portion of the hot honey street corn mixture.

8. 8

   Garnish with extra red chili flakes or fresh cilantro if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

For a lighter version, replace the mayonnaise with more Greek yogurt. If you prefer more heat, add a teaspoon of sriracha or hot sauce to the dressing.
