I usually approach it in a way where you can express how much more efficient you've become in your role and are ready to take on more responsibilities. Not about being unhappy in the least, but more so eager to be more involved in the company.
I just had to do this! It was already a bit of a conversation where my manager had mentioned taking on more. I was finally ready to green light that. I let them know I appreciated all I’ve learned and been able to accomplish up to this point, and would love to grow in the role more. They did tell me it would be a while before anything happened, so that was a bit of a letdown.

While you are waiting for that new work, try talking with some folks outside of your typical group of peers. Semi-networking, semi-getting to know you / watercooler /coffee break chat.
Another area might be to see if there are any company volunteer groups or employee groups that might need a hand with an event or activity.
I've never thought that anyone asking for more responsibility is being unhappy or ungrateful. To me, they sound motivated and ambitious. I think it's all about the perspective and the energy you carry into the conversation.
