Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese or dairy-free cheese

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced sweet potatoes, olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.

      Bake the Sweet Potatoes: Spread the sweet potato slices 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.

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

          Return to the Oven: Place the assembled nachos back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove the nachos from the oven and top with diced avocado, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an added zesty kick.
