To create the perfect base for your Sweet Potato Nachos, it's essential to prepare the sweet potatoes correctly. Start by selecting firm, unblemished sweet potatoes. For even cooking and a delightful crunch, slice them into uniform rounds. Aim for about 1/4-inch thickness; this will ensure they bake evenly while achieving that desired crispiness.

Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a vegan alternative)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, cut into wedges

Sour cream or Greek yogurt (for serving, optional)

Jalapeño slices (for topping, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.

      Season the Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

        Bake the Sweet Potatoes: Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

          Assemble the Nachos: Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Layer the sweet potato slices on a large oven-safe platter or baking dish. Sprinkle the black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, and shredded cheese evenly on top.

            Melt the Cheese: Return the platter to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

              Garnish: Once out of the oven, top with diced avocado, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño slices if using.

                Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the nachos, and serve them warm with sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side for extra creaminess.
