Ingredients

  • For the Roasted Veggies:
  • 1 lb sweet potatoes, medium diced
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, quartered
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp allspice
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin
  • For the Ground Beef:
  • 1 lb extra lean ground beef
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp granulated garlic
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • For the Bowls:
  • 8 cups spring mix
  • 4 oz crumbled goat cheese
  • Optional toppings: pickled beets, honey drizzle, chile flakes, chopped nuts, apple slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Toss sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, and allspice.
  3. Spread veggies on the pan in a single layer and roast for 25–35 minutes, until tender and caramelized.
  4. While veggies roast, mix butter, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, water, garlic, and spices in a small bowl.
  5. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef 3–4 minutes on one side, then break up and cook through.
  6. Pour in garlic butter mixture and stir until thickened and fragrant, 1–2 minutes.
  7. To serve, build bowls with spring mix, roasted veggies, garlic butter beef, and crumbled goat cheese.
  8. Optional: finish with honey, chile flakes, or pickled beets for added flavor.

Notes

  • Swap sweet potatoes with butternut or delicata squash.
  • Try broccoli or cauliflower instead of Brussels sprouts.
  • Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
  • Goat cheese can be swapped with feta or shaved parmesan.
  • Add grains like quinoa, farro, or brown rice for extra heartiness.
  • For dairy-free, use plant-based butter and cheese alternatives.
