Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 jalapeño, sliced (optional for heat)

1 ripe avocado, diced

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt (for a healthier nacho cheese)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, cut into wedges

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or dairy-free cheese for a vegan option)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them into thin rounds (about 1/4 inch thick). You can also cut them into triangles if preferred.

      Season and Roast: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.

        Layer the Nachos: Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and layer them on a large platter or a baking dish. Top with black beans, cherry tomatoes, jalapeños, and shredded cheese.

          Melt the Cheese: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

            Garnish: Remove the nachos from the oven and top with diced avocado, a drizzle of Greek yogurt, and fresh cilantro.

              Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing.
