Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a large rimmed baking sheet with a splash of avocado oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine diced sweet potatoes with avocado oil, season salt, parsley, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Toss to coat.
  3. Spread the sweet potato mixture in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
  4. In a large skillet, heat a splash of avocado oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 8–10 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.
  5. Add ketchup, water, vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the beef. Stir and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  6. Prepare your optional toppings by slicing dill pickles, pickled red onions, and jalapeños. Snip some chives or slice green onions for freshness.
  7. Assemble your bowls with roasted sweet potatoes at the bottom, topped with sloppy joe mixture and your choice of toppings.
