Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for added heat)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn kernels (canned or frozen)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a dairy-free alternative)

1 ripe avocado, diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)

1/2 cup salsa or pico de gallo

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to facilitate easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Thoroughly wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice them into rounds approximately 1/4-inch thick to ensure even cooking.

      Season the Rounds: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato slices with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne pepper (if desired), and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Toss the slices until they are evenly coated with the oil and spices.

        Bake the Rounds: Arrange the seasoned sweet potato rounds on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes. Flip the rounds halfway through baking to achieve even cooking, until they are tender with slightly crispy edges.

          Add Toppings: Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the black beans, corn, and shredded cheese evenly over the rounds. Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

            Garnish and Serve: After baking, take the sheet out of the oven and top the nacho rounds with diced avocado, fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, and a generous dollop of salsa or pico de gallo. Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty touch.

              Enjoy: Dig in and savor your delightful Sweet Potato Nacho Rounds! They serve as a fantastic appetizer, a satisfying snack, or even a light meal.
