This hearty skillet dinner is the kind of meal that makes a weeknight feel like something worth sitting down for. Sweet potato and carrots get a head start in the oven until they're golden and just tender, then join seasoned ground beef and zucchini in a pan that smells absolutely incredible thanks to turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon. The real magic is the glaze — pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos come together into a sticky, tangy-sweet coating that clings to every bite of beef and vegetable. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of oats and oat derivatives, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved — just straightforward, wholesome cooking. The method is approachable too: one oven-safe skillet handles almost everything, which means less cleanup and more time enjoying dinner. Fresh parsley and chives scattered on top at the end add a bright, herby finish that pulls the whole bowl together. It's filling, flavorful, and the kind of recipe you'll find yourself coming back to on rotation.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). In a small bowl, stir together the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, and 1/4 tsp salt until combined. Set the glaze aside.
Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil in a large (12-inch) oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sweet potato and carrots in a single layer, season with 1/4 tsp salt, and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes, until the undersides are golden. Stir and transfer the skillet to the oven; roast for 10–12 minutes, until the sweet potato is just tender when pierced with a fork. Transfer the vegetables to a plate and return the skillet to the stovetop.
