Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into thin, round discs, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Toss the sweet potato slices in a bowl with the spice mix, ensuring each slice is evenly coated.
- Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and slightly crispy around the edges.
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Dice the avocado and toss it in a bowl with the lime juice to prevent browning.
- Once the sweet potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven but keep the oven on.
- Spread the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sweet potato slices.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Transfer the cheesy sweet potato slices to a serving plate.
- Evenly distribute the cherry tomatoes and diced avocado over the top.
- Dollop the Greek yogurt over the nachos, or serve it on the side for dipping.
- Serve your Cheesy Sweet Potato Nachos warm, and enjoy!
Tips:
- Make sure to slice the sweet potatoes thinly and uniformly to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
- You can experiment with different spice mixes to suit your taste preferences. Popular choices include taco seasoning or a mix of paprika, cumin, and garlic powder.
- For extra crunch, consider pre-baking the sweet potato slices at a higher temperature for a short time before adding the other ingredients.
- Feel free to add protein options such as black beans, shredded chicken, or ground beef to make the nachos more filling.
- Serve immediately after assembling to maintain the best texture and flavor, as the sweet potato slices may become soggy if left for too long.
Cheesy sweet potato nachos are a burst of flavors and textures, combining the sweetness of the potatoes with the creaminess of cheddar cheese and avocado, the freshness of cherry tomatoes, and the tanginess of lime juice and Greek yogurt. It's a simple yet delightful dish that can be enjoyed by everyone, whether you're serving it at a party or for a quick midweek snack.
