If you like Nachos then do try my healthier version of Sweet Potato Nachos. They taste so good and can be made in under 30 minutes. This delicious snack is made by roasting sweet potatoes & topping them with black beans, jalapenos, and cheese.
Put all the spices in a bowl and mix them properly. Keep the bowl aside.
HOW TO MAKE CHEESE SAUCE:
In a saucepan, put the butter and let it simmer at medium heat. Once the butter starts to melt, add all-purpose flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes until properly combined.
Then slowly put milk in the pan. Whisk continuously so that the sauce is free of lumps. Let it boil till it reaches the consistency of a sauce. Then add garlic powder, salt & pepper. Cook for 1 more minute.
Lastly, add cheese and keep whisking. You can add more cheese if needed. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts & sauce has a thick consistency. Transfer it into a bowl and let it cool for few minutes.
HOW TO MAKE SWEET POTATO NACHOS
Pre-heat the oven at 425°F for 15-20 minutes. Peel the potatoes and slice them. Then add sweet potatoes in a bowl along with oil & spice-mix. Mix them properly until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
Spray some oil on the baking sheet. Line the sweet potatoes in the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast these sweet potatoes in a pre-heated oven for 20 minutes at 425°F.
Once they are partially roasted, take the baking sheet out of oven. Top the sweet potatoes with black beans and corn. Roast them for 10 more minutes in the oven.
Once the sweet potatoes are properly roasted, garnish with some jalapenos, onion, cilantro, cheese sauce, and serve. (Note: You can also sprinkle some lemon juice before serving).
