For some reason, lately all I have seen is nachos everywhere. Adverts, Facebook newsfeeds, TV shows and more. I took it as a sign and created this lush, very satisfying sweet potato nachos recipe.
I am sure you are aware of my sweet potatoes obsession. It is not because they are that much better than traditional white potatoes, I just love their texture, gentle sweetness and most of all, versatility.
This sweet potato nachos recipe is just insanely good. It's loaded with my favourite toppings including black beans, sweetcorn, mashed avocado and white yoghurt, mixed with a touch of lemon to resemble sour cream. There are loads of different recipes, but this is my take on healthier nachos. This is my ultimate comfort food!
For all of you carnivores, you can add shredded chicken or mince beef on top. I have used soya yoghurt, but you could use any other white yoghurt or if you want to make it even more indulgent, go for coconut cream. For the avocado bit, I just mashed up half an avocado with a bit of water and salt, but you could give my light guacamole a try as it's made with a secret ingredient to keep it lower in fat. The best bit about this recipe is you can make it the way you love it, beans or no beans, hot or mild, cheese or no cheese or just loads of avocado.
Another thing I like about these nachos is that it gets all done on one baking tray. Not a lot of mess, but you get a big and tasty result. Just make sure you layer the potato slices in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure they are crispy. Sometimes, when I can be bothered and have plenty of time, I soak them in a bowl of water. This helps to remove some of the starch and make them crispier.
