Sweet potato nachos are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional nachos, featuring crispy sweet potato slices instead of tortilla chips, loaded with flavorful toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large sweet potato, thinly sliced into rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup cooked black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper (any color)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or dairy-free alternative
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream or dairy-free alternative (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons salsa (optional)
  • 1 avocado, diced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly caramelized.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the black beans, corn, red onion, bell pepper, and cheese over the sweet potato slices.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro.
  8. Serve immediately with optional sour cream, salsa, and diced avocado.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of chili powder and cumin to your preferred spice level.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the nachos for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • Feel free to customize with your favorite nacho toppings like pickled jalapeños, green onions, or a squeeze of lime juice.
