Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Dice the zucchinis, peel and cube the sweet potato, finely chop the onion, and mince the garlic. Set aside.

2. Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed sweet potatoes and cook for 7-8 minutes until slightly tender. Remove and set aside.

3. Brown the Beef: In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart. Drain any excess fat if needed.

4. Sauté the Onion and Garlic: Add the remaining olive oil, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant.

5. Add the Zucchini and Spices: Toss in the diced zucchinis, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until zucchinis start to soften.

6. Combine Everything: Return the cooked sweet potatoes to the skillet. Stir together and cook for 2-3 more minutes until all vegetables are tender.

7. Garnish and Serve: Turn off the heat, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top, and serve hot.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different vegetables, such as bell peppers or spinach.

Add extra spices or herbs for more flavor.

For a creamier texture, stir in sour cream or shredded cheese.

Serve over quinoa, rice, or cauliflower rice for a more substantial meal.
