Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 cup cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt for a creamier texture)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional for extra flavor)

1/4 cup fresh spinach or arugula, for garnish

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them out evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.

    Prepare the Base: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare your base. If you're using Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese, whisk it with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper for added flavor.

      Assemble the Bowl: Once the sweet potatoes are done, let them cool slightly. In a serving bowl, add a generous scoop of cottage cheese (or yogurt). Top it with the roasted sweet potatoes.

        Add Toppings: Sprinkle the halved cherry tomatoes, chopped green onions, and crumbled feta cheese (if using) over the bowl.

          Garnish: Add a handful of fresh spinach or arugula on top for a pop of color and nutrition. Finally, drizzle balsamic glaze over the entire bowl for a sweet tangy finish.

            Serve: Enjoy your Savory Sweet Potato Cottage Cheese Bowl warm or at room temperature, as a nutritious meal any time of day!
