Spiced Ground Beef

• ½ lb (approx. 225g) extra lean ground beef (or ground turkey)

• ¼ yellow onion, finely diced

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Roast the Carrots 🥕

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Arrange the peeled and sliced carrots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and sriracha (if using). Toss to coat evenly and roast for 30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

2. Cook the Spiced Ground Beef 🥩

While the carrots are roasting, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, diced bell pepper, garlic powder, paprika (or cumin), salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 6–8 minutes, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until fully cooked through and browned.

3. Mix the Garlic Yogurt Dip 🥣

In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, finely grated fresh garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until smooth, then spread evenly across the base of your serving plate.

4. Assemble & Serve ✨

Layer the warm roasted carrots directly over the creamy garlic yogurt. Spoon the cooked spiced beef over top, then garnish with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
