# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F.
02 - Toss bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 18–20 minutes, stirring halfway, until tender and lightly browned.
03 - While vegetables roast, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
04 - Add garlic, ground beef, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.
05 - In a small bowl, whisk together honey, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, and chili flakes (if using).
06 - Divide cooked rice or quinoa among 4 meal prep containers. Top with roasted vegetables, black beans, and ground beef mixture.
07 - Drizzle each bowl generously with hot honey sauce. Garnish with green onions and avocado, if desired.
08 - Let cool completely before sealing containers for refrigeration. Store for up to 4 days.
