Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or pepper Jack cheese
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
- ¼ cup minced red onion
- ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). On a baking sheet, toss the sliced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out in a single layer and roast for about 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until they’re crisp around the edges and tender in the middle.
Remove the tray from the oven, then scatter the black beans evenly over the sweet potato rounds. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, jalapeños, and minced red onion. Return the tray to the oven for another 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Carefully take the nachos out of the oven and drizzle or dollop sour cream on top. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for a bright finishing touch. Serve hot so everyone can dive right in while they’re at their crispy, melty best.
These Sweet & Smoky Fiesta Sweet Potato Nachos are a lighter, more colorful spin on the classic party snack. They’re perfect for game days, casual get-togethers, or even a fun weeknight dinner.

However you enjoy them, these loaded nachos are sure to be the talk of the table—crunchy, creamy, smoky, and utterly delicious.
