Sweet Potato Nachos

1

Sweet potatoes happen to hold a special place in my heart. They are full of vitamins and nutrients and their sweet flavor with some spicy seasonings make me a very happy girl. I always reach for them in the kitchen when I’m trying to avoid bread or pasta but still need a starch to consume to fill me up.

Any toppings will work on these crispy sweet potato rounds. Black beans, pinto beans are both the favorites on this one. Any cheese, like cheddar or monterey jack taste so good. You can also air fry the sweet potatoes too.
