Steps

1Roast the Sweet Potatoes
2Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Add the diced potatoes to a mixing bowl and then add the oil, kosher salt, black pepper, chili powder, and paprika. Toss until the potatoes are coated in the seasonings.
3Transfer the sweet potatoes to a large baking sheet and arrange in a single layer. Bake at 425 degrees for 25-35 minutes until tender, flipping every 10-15 minutes.
4Make the Sloppy Joe Sauce
5Add all of the sauce ingredients to a mixing bowl and whisk together until well combined. Set aside.
6Make the Sloppy Joe Mixture
7Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the avocado oil and then add the ground beef. Brown the ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks.
8Once the meat has browned add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet along with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes until the onion is tender and translucent.
9Next, lower the heat to low and pour in the sloppy Joe sauce. Stir until well combined and let simmer on low for 10-12 minutes. The sauce should thicken a bit as it simmers.
10Build the Bowls
11Add the roasted sweet potatoes and sloppy joe mixture evenly to your desired amount of bowls. Top the bowls with pickles, pickled red onion, fresh chives, and whatever other toppings you love.
