How do I get the sweet potato slices crispy for the nachos?

For crispy sweet potato nachos, slice the potatoes thinly, spray both sides with cooking oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake at 400 F for 20-25 minutes until golden and crisp.

Can I prepare the guacamole ahead of time for these nachos?

Yes, you can prep the guacamole by mashing 1/2 avocado with lime juice and salt. To minimize browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before setting it aside.

What are the recommended toppings for these Sweet Potato Nachos?

This recipe suggests black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, guacamole, vegan sour cream, and red pepper flakes. Optional additions include jalapenos, vegan cheese, olives, lettuce, or hot sauce.

Is this Sweet Potato Nachos recipe suitable for a gluten-free diet?

Yes, this recipe is naturally gluten-free as it uses thinly sliced and baked sweet potatoes as the base instead of traditional corn or flour tortilla chips.

What's the best way to store leftover Sweet Potato Nachos?

Assembled nachos can become soggy quickly. It's best to store any leftover toppings like beans, corn, and guacamole separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat the sweet potato slices separately if desired.

How to Prepare Sweet Potato Nachos [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Starting with the potatoes, slice thinly (skin on for crispy edges!) and add to your sprayed baking sheet. Spray again with olive oil and add salt and pepper, to taste. Bake at 400 F for 20-25 minutes (or until crispy).
Done? Let nachos cool and prep your guac. Add 1/2 avocado, lime juice & salt to processor. Or just mash with your fork. Set aside.
Layer your nachos! Sweet potatoes, beans, corn, tomatoes, guac, sour cream, red pepper flakes… and 1 lime slice for garnish.
