Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper directly on the baking sheet until evenly coated.
3. Spread the sweet potatoes into a single layer and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
4. While the potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef and diced onion.
5. Cook until the beef is fully browned and the onions are translucent, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
6. Add the minced garlic and soy sauce to the skillet, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and sriracha to create your hot honey sauce.
8. Assemble the bowls by dividing the cooked rice among four bowls.
9. Top each bed of rice with roasted sweet potatoes and savory ground beef.
10. Generously drizzle the hot honey over each bowl and garnish with freshly chopped green onions before serving.
