Preparation

For the Sweet Potatoes:

1. Preheat the oven to 400º F and line a baking sheet with foil. Set aside.

2. Wash and pat dry the sweet potatoes, then poke four holes in the top of each potato using a knife. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and soft to the touch.

For the Sloppy Joe Filling:

3. Heat oil in a large skillet pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.

4. Add the beef and use a meat chopper tool or wooden spatula to break the meat into small pieces. Continue chopping and occasionally stirring until the beef is cooked and no longer pink. Add the bell pepper and garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

5. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, maple syrup, tamari or Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and vinegar. Mix well and simmer over medium heat for about five minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste and simmer until ready to serve.

For the Brussel Sprouts:

6. Combine the shredded Brussels sprouts, oil, and salt in a large bowl. Toss to combine, then add to your air-fryer basket. Air fry at 400º for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket every 3-4 minutes. Cook until the Brussels sprouts start to brown and get crispy in spots.

Assembling the Bowls:

7. Place each sweet potato in a large bowl. Cut open the center of each potato to expose the flesh. Take a fork to break up the flesh to make room for the sloppy joe mixture.

8. Add a portion of the sloppy joe mixture on top of each potato, then top each bowl with crispy Brussels sprouts, slices of avocados, and fresh cilantro (optional).
