SWEET POTATO NACHOS

If you like Nachos then do try my healthier version of Sweet Potato Nachos. They taste so good and can be made in under 30 minutes. This delicious snack is made by roasting sweet potatoes & topping them with black beans, jalapenos, and cheese.

I really like sweet potatoes, especially the air-fried roasted ones. You can make these nachos in the oven or in an air fryer. But if you want a big batch of these nachos, then making them in the oven is a better choice. If you make the nachos in an air fryer, then you will get a little smoky flavor in the sweet potatoes.

I really like nachos as a mid-day snack. So this time I thought to make a healthier version of it by using sweet potatoes. More cheese definitely tastes amazing but if you want to make them healthier then you can skip it or add only a little cheese.

SWEET POTATO NACHO INGREDIENTS

• SWEET POTATOES: Sweet potato is the main ingredient. You can use any sweet potato in the recipe. I have used Japanese sweet potatoes as I really like their taste a lot.
• CHEESE: You can add any cheese. I haven't added a lot of cheese as I wanted the nachos to be healthier. But if you like, you can add more cheese too.
• SPICES: For more flavorful nachos, I have added some spices with sweet potatoes. And then roasted them in the oven. 
• BLACK BEANS: I have put some canned black beans in the recipe. You can also use some refried beans. You can try this refried beans recipe by Sonal Gupta at SimplyVegetarian777.
• ADD-ONS: You can also top these nachos with some jalapenos, chopped onions, cherry tomatoes, and guacamole.

How to make Sweet Potato Nachos in an Air Fryer?

If you don't want to make Sweet Potato Nachos in an oven, you can still make them in an Air Fryer. Air Fry the sweet potatoes for 30-40 minutes. Let them cool for a couple of minutes. Remove the skin and slice the sweet potatoes. Layer the sweet potatoes in a springfoam pan and sprinkle some cheese & black beans and air-fry again for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese melts. And serve.

Is Sweet Potato Nachos healthy?

It depends on the recipe. But adding less or no cheese will definitely make the nachos healthy. You can use some lemon juice and Greek yogurt for the creamy flavor. Or you can also serve with some delicious dipping sauce.
