How do I make sweet potatoes nachos?
Preheat the oven to 400F, line two baking sheets with aluminum foil, and spray with a nonstick spray.
Next, slice the sweet potatoes into 1/4 inch rounds and arrange them into a single layer on the baking sheets. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for 20 minutes. Then flip, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake for another 20 minutes. If you want them to be a little crispier, put them on broil for one minute. Make sure you watch them so they do not burn!
While the sweet potato chips are cooking, prepare the veggies. Heat a skillet over medium heat with avocado oil. Slice yellow onion and peppers into strips and add them into the heated skillet. Saute for 15 minutes and then mix in the fajita seasoning. Put the veggies on simmer while the sweet potato chips are still cooking. Turn the oven down to 350F
Once the sweet potato chips are finished cooking, arrange a single layer onto the square 8 inch casserole dish. Then add a layer of veggies and cheese. Repeat until all of your ingredients are gone. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350F for 20 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and broil for one minute. Serve with fresh lime, salsa, guacamole, and/or sour cream. Enjoy!
