Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400℉ (200℃) and place a large, rimmed baking sheet inside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine diced sweet potatoes with avocado oil, season salt, dried parsley, black pepper, and parmesan cheese. Toss until well coated.
  3. Spread sweet potato mixture on the hot baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until tender and caramelized.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  5. To the browned beef, stir in ketchup, water, white vinegar, sugar, mustard, kosher salt, paprika, and black pepper. Simmer on low for 5-10 minutes.
  6. Prepare toppings: slice dill pickles, chop pickled red onions, and slice jalapeños.
  7. Assemble bowls: layer roasted sweet potatoes as the base, then top with sloppy joe sauce.
  8. Add your favorite toppings and serve warm.
