1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup sweet potato purée (from about 1 small sweet potato, baked and mashed)
2 tbsp cassava flour
2 tbsp coconut aminos
Chef's tip
Soy sauce is saltier and less sweet; start with less and adjust.
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground ginger
1 tsp salt
2 lb ground beef (85% lean)
Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground beef and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).

For the glaze

3 tbsp sweet potato purée
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp maple syrup
Chef's tip
Use the same amount; honey is a little thicker and slightly sweeter.
1 tbsp coconut aminos
Chef's tip
Soy sauce is saltier and less sweet; start with less and adjust.
¼ tsp ground turmeric

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat the coconut oil in a small skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
2
While the aromatics cool, make the glaze: combine the 3 tbsp sweet potato purée, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, 1 tbsp coconut aminos, and 1/4 tsp turmeric in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until smooth and warmed through, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
