Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or a vegan cheese alternative)

1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (pickled or fresh)

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Optional: avocado, sour cream, or yogurt for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and slice the sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the rounds in a large mixing bowl.

      Season the Rounds: Drizzle olive oil over the sweet potato rounds. Add smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss until the rounds are evenly coated with the seasoning.

        Bake the Sweet Potatoes: Arrange the sweet potato rounds on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.

          Assemble the Nacho Rounds: Remove the sweet potato rounds from the oven and layer them with a spoonful of black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, and shredded cheese.

            Second Bake: Return the loaded rounds to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and top with jalapeños and fresh cilantro. Drizzle with avocado, sour cream, or yogurt if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
