Loaded Sweet Potato Chip Nachos with Sweet Potato Nacho Cheese

At Mexican restaurants, my sister used to order the loaded nachos appetizer as an entree and we’d all laugh at the giant plate juxtaposed with her tiny frame.

I’m starting to think she had the right idea, though, you know?

It’s been dark and overcast here with the the impending Hurricane Florence, so I’m thinking we should brighten up our plates a bit.

My plans tonight are simple and I thought you might want to join in.

I’m making a giant plate of these Loaded Sweet Potato Chip Nachos with Sweet Potato Nacho Cheese to kick back for a little fiesta.

It’s the perfect plant-based appetizer, side, meal (no judgement!), or snack to munch on for sunshine-y vibes.

Loaded Sweet Potato Chip Nachos with Sweet Potato Nacho Cheese

My love of sweet potatoes is no secret, so you can imagine the concept of using them as a vehicle for nacho toppings totally appealed to me.

I couldn’t just stop there, though, so I added black beans, sweet pomegranate, creamy avocado, and a deliciously creamy sweet potato based nacho cheese because that’s how we do things here.

I think that’s how you should do things, too.

Because topping a good thing with more good things makes for even better things, yes?

Loaded Sweet Potato Chip Nachos with Sweet Potato Nacho Cheese

This dish couldn’t be easier to throw together– it’s almost too good to be true.

Yes, you could make your own sweet potato “nacho” chips, but Bare Snacks Sweet Potato Chips makes them so easy!

I’m still crushing hard on these sweet chips that are perfectly crispy and baked without any added oils.

All you need to make your sweet potato “nachos” is a crunchy sweet potato chip base, your favorite Mexican-inspired toppings, and a batch of the BEST root-veggie nacho cheese.

Enjoy these Loaded Sweet Potato Chip Nachos with Sweet Potato Nacho Cheese as a fun appetizer, side, or the main course.

I love enjoying half of this fully loaded recipe as an entree!

If you want more protein, try adding tempeh or tofu crumbles.

Load these nachos in the way that is the most you, because these nachos are totally customizable.

If you don’t have pomegranate seeds, try adding some diced mango or peaches to bring in an elemental of fruity sweetness.

Try adding salsa, hot sauce, or jalapenos for a little heat!

Description

Quick and easy plant based “nachos” with sweet potato chips and all the fixings. Perfect for a plant-based side, appetizer, or game time snack.


Ingredients

  • 1–2 bags of Bare Snacks Sweet Potato Chips*(or sub homemade!*)
  • 1 13 oz. can of black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds (or sub mango)
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/2 lime, squeezed
  • fresh cilantro
  • SWEET POTATO CHEESE
  • 2 cups peeled and diced sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
  • ½ cup nutritional yeast
  • ¼ cup runny cashew butter
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (+more as needed for thinner consistency)
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan sea salt
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • optional for serving: hot sauce, salsa, jalapenos

Instructions

  1. To make the Sweet Potato Nacho Cheese, add baby carrots and peeled potatoes to a pot and cover with filtered water. Bring to a boil and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until fork tender.
  2. Once the carrots and potatoes are soft enough, drain water out of pot and add to a high speed blender. Add all remaining ingredients into blender and blend on high for 2 to 3 mins until smooth and creamy, adding more almond milk as needed to reach desired consistency. Refrigerate until ready for use.
  3. Arrange sweet potato chips on a large platter and top with black beans, avocado, and red onion. Garnish with pomegranate seed, cilantro, and fresh squeezed lime.
  4. Serve immediately with optional hot sauce, salsa, and jalapenos.

Notes

*To make your own sweet potato nachos:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Place thinly sliced sweet potato rounds on the baking sheet and bake for 30-45 minutes, flipping once halfway to ensure even baking. Add more time for crispier “nachos”, and less time for more tender potatoes. Allow to cool slightly once removed from the oven.

    This sounds amazing! Will definitely try the cheesy sweet potato sauce this evening and let you know how it went down. I don’t have cashew butter at home, could I substitute this with either peanut butter or some (soaked) cashews? What do you think? Thanks for the inspiration!

      Hi Kirsten! I think soaked cashews (maybe ~1/4-1/2 cuo?) would be perfect here. Peanut butter might be too strong– but tahini is another great substitute! Let me know how you liked it! XOXO.

        Thanks Lauren!

        I tried it yesterday with soaked cashews and it turned out amazing! Even though the cheesy sauce didn’t have the same yellow-ish colour and creamy texture than in your picture, it tasted amazing! Will definitely keep your recipe in mind.

Instagram post 17860325119620266 On Sundays we breakfast all day. 🍳 Dipping my favorite @hilaryseatwell spicy veggie sausage patties in mustard in front of my mini Christmas tree and wouldn’t have it any other way. 🌲If you’ve never tried these vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-free plant-based sausages you need to put them on your Christmas list for Santa ASAP. 🎅 What’s your favorite @hilaryseatwell dip? 😏 Sometimes I do guac or hummus or ketchup but mustard is my TOP. -
Fueling after a morning hike with the pup and a working day here at F&V...hope you’re having a relaxing Sunday! 😘

Instagram post 17842500349878252 I made cauliflower rice bowls for dinner this week that reminded me of this LENTIL WINTER SQUASH CAULIFLOWER RICE POWER BOWL. 🍲 It just hit me that I haven’t had red kuri squash yet this season and that needs to change! Like now! If you’ve never tried red kuri I highly recommend it— it’s another squash with super soft skin that easy to work with and even easier to devour. 🤤 if you don’t have red kuri you can still make it with your favorite winter squash like butternut or acorn squash instead! Grab the recipe on Flora & Vino— link is in my profile!

About to dawn my dress and surrender my hair and makeup to my gal pal for a Christmas party this evening— excited to get festive! PS I went with the red shoes (for those that watched my stories and had strong shoe opinions) 😘😘😘. 👠

Instagram post 18107441725077368 Hey smoothie bowls can be red and green, too! 🎄Like this EVERGREEN SMOOTHIE BOWL that’s banana-free and packed with berries, nut butter, and tons of frozen leafy greens to get that vibrant mossy color! 🍨 I love mine filled with pomegranate arils, coconut, and granola. You can also use fresh greens in this recipe but frozen is best for the thickest smoothie bowl texture. Grab the recipe link in my profile and stock up on ingredients this weekend! -
Up bright and early today for a day filled with pampering. ☀️ My friend so kindly asked me to her office Christmas party so I’m excited to get dolled up and go out in a 👗 and 👠! Hope you have a great weekend! .

Instagram post 17869586221527783 Heading to book club tonight and I’m bringing the DIP. 😎 If I was really on my game I would have whipped up this CREAMY CAULIFLOWER DIP that’s paleo, vegan, and oil-free! It also just happens to be a pretty red and green spread if you pair it with beet chips and fresh parsley like I like. 😚 Serve it warm or chilled— I like mine straight out of the blender with a little warmth from the blades. 👌🏻

I feel bringing this might offset the fact that I didn’t read EITHER of our books this month 😂😂😂.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Just hung out with my nieces and nephews and one of my nieces is asking for an American girl doll for Christmas. I was beyond excited to hear this because American girl dolls were always on my Christmas list growing up! I think I had the entire collection at once point...but my first doll was Felicity. 👧 Anyone else an American Girl Doll OG?
