Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon cumin

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a dairy-free alternative)

½ cup sliced jalapeños (optional for heat)

1 ripe avocado, diced

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into thin, even slices (about 1/4 inch thick) to ensure they cook evenly.

      Season the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper until well-coated.

        Bake the Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and slightly crisp.

          Layer the Nachos: Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the sweet potato slices on a large baking dish or a parchment-lined baking sheet. Layer on black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, and top with shredded cheese.

            Melt the Cheese: Return the nachos to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove the nachos from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Just before serving, sprinkle with diced avocado and fresh cilantro. Serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side, and lime wedges for an extra zing.

                Enjoy your Sweet Potato Nachos Delight, a perfect blend of healthy and indulgent flavors that are sure to please everyone!
