Ingredients

2 pound ground beef (85% lean)
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion (medium, diced)
3 clove garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 can crushed tomatoes
0.5 cup vegetable broth
1 teaspoon kosher salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
3 sweet potatoes (medium, peeled and 1-inch diced)
0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
0.25 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
2 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. On a large baking sheet, toss the diced sweet potato with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
While sweet potatoes roast, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Add the diced yellow onion to the skillet with the beef and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, ground coriander, sweet paprika, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Keep warm.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped fresh cilantro, chopped fresh parsley, and lemon juice to make the herb salsa.
Assemble the bowls: divide the roasted sweet potatoes among serving bowls, then top with the Georgian spiced ground beef. Finish each bowl with a spoonful of fresh herb salsa.

Notes

This dish reheats beautifully for next-day lunches. Keep the herb salsa separate and add just before serving to maintain its freshness.
