  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sweet Potatoes:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes: sliced into thin rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil: for coating
  • Salt and pepper: to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika: for a hint of smokiness

For the Toppings:

  • 1 cup burrata cheese: torn into pieces
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds: for a burst of sweetness
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro: chopped
  • 1 jalapeño: sliced thinly (optional, for heat)
  • 1 avocado: sliced (optional, for creaminess)
  • Lime wedges: for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Slice Sweet Potatoes: Use a sharp knife or mandoline to slice the sweet potatoes into thin, even rounds.
  3. Season: Place the slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Bake: Arrange the slices in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.

Step 2: Assemble the Nachos

  1. Layer Ingredients: Once the sweet potato rounds are baked, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
  2. Add Toppings: Top with torn pieces of burrata cheese, pomegranate seeds, and chopped cilantro. If desired, add slices of jalapeño for heat and avocado for creaminess.

Step 3: Serve

  1. Garnish: Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and add a sprinkle of salt if needed.
  2. Serve with Lime: Arrange lime wedges on the side for guests to squeeze over their nachos. Serve immediately while the sweet potato slices are warm.
