Sweet Potato Nachos

Sweet Potato Nachos are thinly sliced, roasted sweet potato rounds topped with melted cheese and a variety of fresh or pickled toppings such as black beans, jalapenos, guacamole, and salsa. The base slices are seasoned with chili, garlic powder, cayenne or paprika, salt, and pepper, giving a slightly spicy and savory flavor. Roasting makes the sweet potato tender but with some crispy edges, providing a good base for melting cheese and adding layered textures.
