Sweet Potato Nacho Madness - Vegan recipe hero image

Hey there!

I’ve gotta tell you, these Sweet Potato Nachos came about during one of those 'what do I have in the pantry?' moments.

I had a couple of sweet potatoes lying around and thought, why not?

It turned out to be one of the best culinary accidents of my life!

They’re perfect for a cozy movie night or a fun gathering with friends.

Plus, they’re guilt-free and totally delicious!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

Sweet potatoes are a fantastic base because they add a natural sweetness that balances the savory toppings. If you want to switch things up, feel free to use different beans or add some sautéed veggies! And if you’re not a fan of spice, you can skip the jalapeños or use bell peppers instead.

Tips & Notes

  • I love to add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast on top for an extra cheesy flavor!
  • If you want a creamy element, consider drizzling some cashew cream over the top.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes, I’ll swap out the black beans for chickpeas for a fun twist!
  • You can also add roasted bell peppers or mushrooms for an extra layer of flavor.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just keep in mind that the sweet potatoes might lose some of their crispiness, but they’ll still taste amazing!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these nachos ahead of time?

I wouldn’t recommend assembling them fully ahead of time, but you can prep the sweet potatoes and toppings separately! Just assemble and bake right before serving.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This is where the magic starts!

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt until they’re evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Spread the sweet potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast them for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re crispy around the edges and soft in the middle.

  4. 4

    While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare your toppings! In a small bowl, mix the black beans and corn together for a colorful and protein-packed combo.

  5. 5

    Once the sweet potatoes are done, take them out of the oven and sprinkle the vegan vegan cheese shreds over the top. Pop them back in the oven for another 5 minutes until the vegan cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Carefully remove the nachos from the oven and layer on the black bean and corn mixture, avocado, jalapeño slices, and fresh cilantro.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for that zesty kick!
