A comforting one-pan meal featuring ground beef, zucchini, and sweet potatoes, perfect for family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) lean ground beef (85/15 or 90/10)
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 medium zucchinis, diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp chili powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.
  2. Brown the beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook until it’s fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika for a rich depth of flavor.
  3. Add sweet potatoes: Introduce the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Stir everything together, allowing the sweet potatoes to become coated in the flavorful mixture. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  4. Incorporate zucchini: Toss in the diced zucchinis and, if you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle in the chili powder. Give everything a good mix and allow it to cook for an additional 5 minutes, just until the zucchinis are tender but still a bit crisp.
  5. Garnish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for a vibrant finish. Serve warm, and enjoy the delightful aromas and flavors at the table.
