Description

Healthy Sloppy Joe Bowls are comfort food made fresh. Lean, saucy beef gets piled into bowls with crispy roasted sweet potatoes and a tangy Greek yogurt coleslaw for the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and crunchy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 rib celery, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp mustard
  • 2 tbsp molasses
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme
  • 2 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
  • 4 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 small head cabbage, shredded
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup full fat greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp raw honey
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Sloppy Joe: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Once hot add in onions, bell peppers, carrots and celery and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until softened and beginning to caramelize. Add in beef, and cook until browned. Season with salt, and pepper. Add in ketchup, mustard, molasses, apple cider vinegar, apple cider, Worcestershire sauce, fresh thyme, and oregano. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes or until the mixture is thickened and heated through. Set aside until you are ready to assemble your bowls.
  2. Roasted Sweet Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F. Add sweet potatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika to a medium bowl and toss to combine. Spread onto a sheet pan and roast in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until crispy and tender in the middle.
  3. Healthy Coleslaw: Add grated cabbage, carrot and parsley to a large bowl, set aside. In a small bowl whisk together greek yogurt, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing on top of the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Set aside until you are ready to assemble.
  4. Assembly: To serve divide the sloppy joe’s between bowls (or meal prep containers) and serve with sweet potatoes and coleslaw!

Notes

Use oven or air fryer mode to ensure a super crispy potato. Cut sweet potatoes into smaller uniform chunks for even cooking. Pre-shredded coleslaw mix can be used to save time. Swap the ground beef with lean ground turkey or ground chicken if preferred. Store components separately to keep textures fresh for up to 4 days.
