These nachos are a total game-changer. By using thinly sliced sweet potatoes as your base, you get a natural sweetness that perfectly counters the heat of jalapeños and the saltiness of melted cheese. Plus, they are naturally gluten-free and filling enough to work as a light weeknight dinner!

Ingredients
2Large sweet potatoessliced into rounds
2TbspOlive oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/2cupBlack Beans
1/4cupCorn
1/4cup Shredded Cheese
1Jalapeno Peppersliced
1/4cupCilantro
Instructions
Prep and Roast: First, preheat your oven to 425°F. Then, toss your sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and the edges start to crisp.
The Layering: Once the potatoes are roasted, pull the tray out and bunch them together slightly so they overlap. Sprinkle the black beans, corn, and cheese evenly over the top.
The Melt: Pop the tray back into the oven for about 5 more minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
The Finish: Remove from the oven and go heavy on the garnishes! Top with fresh jalapeños and cilantro. Serve immediately with plenty of salsa and sour cream on the side.
