Who says nachos have to be unhealthy? Loaded with wholesome ingredients, these sweet potato nachos are the perfect snack or light meal. Plus, they’re easy to make and customizable to your liking.
First, let’s talk about the star of the dish: sweet potatoes. Not only are they delicious, but they’re also loaded with nutrients. Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A, which is essential for healthy vision, skin, and immune function. They’re also a good source of fiber, which can help you feel full and satisfied.
To make the sweet potato nachos, slice two medium sweet potatoes thinly and toss them with a little extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake them in the oven until they’re crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Top them with dairy-free mozzarella cheese shreds (or regular cheese if you prefer) and bake for a few more minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Now for the toppings. Black beans, mango, radish, avocado, and serrano pepper give these nachos their delicious flavor and nutritional value. Black beans are a good source of plant-based protein and fiber, while mango adds a touch of sweetness and loads of vitamin C. Radishes bring a spicy crunch, and avocado adds healthy fats and creaminess. Finally, a little serrano pepper adds heat, but you can omit it if you prefer a milder flavor.
Drizzle the nachos with a little adobo sauce (from canned chipotles in adobo sauce) for smoky flavor and a sprinkle of sea salt. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a bright, citrusy finish.
