Viral Hot Honey Beef Bowls (vegan)
Equipment
- Airfryer or use conventional oven
- frying pan
- Nonstick Baking Mat or parchment paper
Ingredients
Vegan Beef
- 10 oz vegan "beef" I used abbot's butcher brand
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 1/2 yellow onion very finely diced
- 2 tbsp tomato paste double concentrated
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning *see notes for homemade blend
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
- 2 lbs sweet potatoes cubed
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 1/2 tsp salt kosher
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Vegan Hot Honey
- 1/2 cup sweetener agave or other liquid sweetener
- 1-2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes more to taste
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
Other Ingredients
- avocado diced
- tofu ricotta to taste
Instructions
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
- Finely cube the sweet potatoes into even pieces. The smaller the pieces, the faster it will cook! I like to cut mine into 1/2" cubes.
- Toss cubed potatoes in a bowl with oil and spices until nicely coated, then transfer to a baking sheet and spread out so no pieces overlap. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, or until nicely roasted and tender. You can also airfry at 400F for 8 minutes or until tender.
Vegan Beef
- In a saucepan add neutral oil and onions. Cook down until tender, about 2-3 minutes, then add the beef.
- Add spices to the pan along with tomato paste and toss with a spatula to make sure everything is nicely incorporated. Add the water, and cook down until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the meat mixture. Adjust to taste and set aside.
Vegan Hot Honey
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add honey and chili flakes. Bring the mixture up to a bubble then remove from the heat and add lemon juice. Stir to incorporate and allow the chili flakes to infuse into the mixture or strain and remove the chili flakes.
Assembling the Bowl
- To assemble, add 1/3 of the beef mixture to a bowl, tofu ricotta to taste, half an avocado, 1/3 of the sweet potatoes and drizzle with hot honey to taste.
