Ingredients

  • 2-3 sweet potatoes Large
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • sea salt to taste
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • toppings of your choice (See Blog Post)

Instructions

  • Set oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Begin by slicing very thin slices of sweet potatoes.
  • Spray cookie sheet with avocado oil spray or brush with oil.
  • Layer sweet potato slices over the cookie sheet in one layer and spray or brush with oil (overlapping potatoes slightly is fine).
    *One large potato will cover at least one cookie sheet. Use a second sheet and cook at the same time to save cooking time.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Rotate trays halfway through cooking time. Potatoes will be ready when they are soft, curling up on the sides, and even browning a touch on the sides.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, put ground beef in a skillet and brown. Add 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning toward the end of cooking (or a packet if that is your preference).
  • While the meat and potatoes cook, prepare your toppings. 
  • Assemble as soon as everything is finished cooking.
