We have found a new staple meal in our house – sweet potato nachos. Glen loves them! We tried them as an experiment for clean eating week and my group thought they were great, not to mention photogenic. So I thought I would share it with you!
For the recipe below, we typically half everything since we’re only two but if you’re feeling hungry and can eat two sweet potatoes, ENJOY! We also like to add taco meat to our, but it is really good both with or without meat.
Sweet Potato Nachos
Prep time

Cook time

Total time
1 hour
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced ¼ inch thick
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup chopped green onions (or jalapenos for garnish)
- 1 avocado, diced or smashed
- Greek yogurt or sour cream
- Salsa
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F and lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Wash and dry your sweet potatoes, then use a vegetable peeler to peel them. Slice them into ¼ inch rounds and place in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, using your hands to ensure that each round is evenly coated. Season with paprika, garlic powder, and salt and pepper, tossing well.
- Place rounds in a single layer on your baking sheet. Bake for 40 minutes, turning them over halfway through to ensure they don’t burn.
- Remove from oven and transfer rounds to a cast iron skillet or oven safe dish, allowing the edges to slightly overlap. Top with beans and cheese before returning to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve with avocado, Greek yogurt or sour cream, and salsa.
