Ingredients
  

Sweet Potato Base
  • 2 large sweet potatoes thinly sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
Toppings
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 0.5 cup black beans rinsed and drained
  • 0.5 cup corn kernels
  • 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes diced
  • 0.25 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1 medium avocado diced or sliced
  • 0.5 cup salsa or pico de gallo
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro chopped
Optional Garnishes
  • sliced jalapeños optional, for heat
  • sour cream or Greek yogurt optional, for serving
  • lime wedges optional, for serving

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash the sweet potatoes and slice them into thin, even 1/4-inch rounds. Try to keep the slices similar in thickness so they cook evenly.
  3. Place the sweet potato slices in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then add paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Toss until all slices are lightly and evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap too much. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden and slightly crisp.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese, black beans, and corn evenly over the sweet potato rounds.
  6. Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 3–5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  7. Take the nachos out of the oven and immediately top with diced cherry tomatoes, red onion, avocado, salsa or pico de gallo, and chopped cilantro.
  8. Add optional garnishes like sliced jalapeños, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and lime wedges. Serve the Loaded Sweet Potato Nachos right away while warm and crisp.

Notes

For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet and bake the sweet potato rounds in batches if needed. Customize your nachos with cooked chicken, turkey, or extra veggies to turn this into a complete meal.
