Loaded Sweet Potato Nachos (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 2 large sweet potatoes
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon ground cumin
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
06 - Salt and pepper, to taste

→ Toppings

07 - 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
08 - 1 cup corn, frozen or canned
09 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
10 - 1 avocado, diced
11 - ½ cup red onion, finely chopped
12 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or vegan cheese for a plant-based option)

→ Garnish

13 - ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
14 - Lime wedges, for serving
15 - Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional, for topping)

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes, then slice them into thin rounds (about 1/4 inch thick). You can also cut them into wedges if you prefer.
02 - In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure all slices are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
03 - Arrange the seasoned sweet potato slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
04 - Once the sweet potato slices are baked, remove them from the oven and reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C). Layer half of the sweet potatoes on a large oven-safe platter or baking dish. Top with half of the black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and shredded cheese.
05 - Place the platter back in the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
06 - Remove from the oven and add the remaining sweet potatoes and toppings (black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, and red onion). Top with the diced avocado and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top.
07 - Serve your loaded sweet potato nachos warm with lime wedges on the side, and a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream if desired.

# Notes:

01 - For crispier sweet potatoes, slice them as thinly as possible.
02 - This dish can be customized with additional toppings like jalapeños or salsa.
