Start by peeling and dicing 2 medium sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sweet potatoes to the skillet and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Sauté the sweet potatoes for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet and add 1 pound of ground beef to the empty side. Break the beef apart with a spatula and cook for about 5 minutes until browned.
Stir the beef into the sweet potatoes and mix well. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
Pour the glaze over the beef and sweet potato mixture, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the glaze has thickened slightly.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
