Can I make taco sweet potato bowls vegetarian or vegan?

Absolutely. Swap the meat for seasoned lentils, black beans, or sautéed tofu. For a vegan version, skip the yogurt and use cashew cream or a dairy-free dressing instead. The taco sweet potato bowl is super flexible.

How long does a taco sweet potato bowl last in the fridge?

Up to 4 days when stored properly. Keep your roasted sweet potatoes and meat in one container, and store greens and toppings separately to keep everything fresh.

Is this dish good for meal prep?

Yes! That’s one of the biggest perks. Roast a big batch of sweet potatoes, prep your meat and sauce, and assemble fresh when you’re ready to eat. It's just like our other prep-friendly recipes like the Ground Beef Sweet Potato Bowl .

What’s the best way to reheat the bowl?

Use a skillet to re-crisp sweet potatoes and warm up meat. Reheat toppings separately or serve them cold for contrast. Avoid microwaving the whole bowl if you want to keep textures sharp.
