Ingredients
Sweet Potato Chip Nacho Chips
- 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 Nacho 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
For serving
- hot sauce
- salsa
- jalapeño
Instructions
- To make the Sweet Potato Nacho Cheese, add the 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve immediately with optional hot sauce, salsa, and jalapeños.
Notes
*To make your own sweet potato nachos:
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Place the thinly sliced sweet potato rounds on the baking sheet and bake them 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 the sweet potato nachos to cool slightly before plating and serving.
