Air Fryer Sweet Potato Nachos are the crispiest, cheesiest nachos made from sweet potatoes! They are completely oil-free and plant-based.
Nachos made from sweet potatoes?! I don't know about you but this is like my dream come true. I used to LOVE nachos, but now I try to avoid eating tortilla chips on the regular. They've got tons of oil, are highly processed, and just generally don't make me feel good after eating them. But sweet potatoes? Yes please. I never feel bad after eating a sweet p.
The secret to making the perfect tray of sweet potato nachos is to slice the potatoes nice and thin, then crisp them up in the air fryer or oven. When you create crispy sweet potatoes you have the perfect vessels for all your tasty toppings: queso, beans, corn, onions, peppers, jalapenos - whatever you want!
Nope! I make crispy sweet potatoes in my oven all the time. An air fryer simply speeds up the cooking process and allows you to cook at a lower heat with the same results.
If you have a convection oven, you can simulate the air circulation of an air fryer really easily. Even if you don't have a convection oven (I don't) you can still achieve the same results with a few tweaks. I provide instructions for both air fryer and oven cooking below.
Step 1. Thinly slice the sweet potatoes. Place on the mesh rack and air fry at 350 for 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes become crispy but not burnt. Alternatively, you can line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and bake in the oven at 450 for 15 minutes.
Step 2. Place the potatoes on a plate. Top with fresh queso, black beans, pickled red onions, jalapenos, corn, and tomatoes. Enjoy!
Thank you God for this healthy twist on a classic dish. We are grateful for the abundance of food that you provide us. Amen.
