Sweet Potato Nachos Recipe

Nachos are pretty much always delicious, but are just as often not so healthy. This recipe combines the great taste of this beloved snack without making you feel too guilty for indulging. Crispy, oven-baked sweet potato slices take the place of chips, and when mixed with cheese, beans, jalapeños and more, they're just as good as any other basket of nachos you've ever had.

Heat oven to 400°F. Arrange the rack in the center of the oven.

Add the sweet potato slices to a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt and a few cracks of pepper; continue to toss to coat.

Tip

Make sure not to over-crowd the slices or they will not crisp up.

Step 3

Place the pans in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the slices appear crisp.
