Ingredients
- 2 gram bags of sweet potato chips
- 3 cups grated cheddar cheese
- 1 cup frozen corn thawed and dried

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and empty one bag of sweet potato chips on top. Spread them out then top them with half of the cheese, corn, black beans, and red onion.
- Layer the second bag of chips on top then cover the nachos with the remaining cheese, corn, black beans, and red onion.
- Bake the nachos for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Serve the nachos with any or all of the optional toppings and dips on the side.

Notes
- While we usually open a bag of sweet potato chips to make this recipe, making your own is healthier and can be a fun kitchen project if you're in the mood for it. Thinly slice a couple of sweet potatoes, preferably using a mandolin. Then, toss the slices in a little oil and salt and bake them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 ½ hours. Remove any that are crispy then continue to bake them, checking and removing any crispy chips every 10 minutes until they are all cooked.
