Recipe | Sweet Potato Nachos

                 By: Micarla Justine

Over  the weekend I tried Sweet Potato Nachos. My honest opinion is that I did not enjoy making this one. Mainly because I hate peeling sweet potatoes as well as it was quite a long process- waiting 40min or so for the sweet potatoes to get all nice and crispy is not so much fun. I like to be busy throughout preparing a meal and well with this one I had to just sit and wait.

The outcome result however was really tasty and super filling. My boyfriend loved it and found this serving satisfying, I on the other hand could only eat half of this serving.

So here we go:

Sweet Potato Nachos
Prep time: 15min - Cook time: 45min Servings:1-2 depending on how much you can stomach I suppose. Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:
- 2 Sweet Potatoes; thinly sliced.
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder 
- 1 Skinless Chicken breast; cooked
- Shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese
- 1 Avocado; diced, cubed or smashed.
- 1/4 cup spring Onions
- Greek Yogurt

Method:
- Preheat oven to 240•c and lightly spray and cook your baking tray.

- Wash and dry your sweet potatoes and then using a vegetable peeler to peel them.

- Slice your potatoes into thin rounds also not too thin or else they could burn and stick to your pan. 

- Place sliced Sweet potatoes into a large bowl and drizzle with Olive oil, using your hands to ensure that each round is evenly coated.

- Season with paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

- Place rounds in a single layer on your baking tray and bake for 40min, turning them halfway through ensuring thatthey don't burn.

- Remove from oven and transfer to a oven proof dish, allowing edges to slightly overlap.

- Top with chicken and cheese before returning to oven for an additional 5min or until cheese is melted.

- Remove from oven and top with avocado and Greek yogurt. Eat and enjoy.

Ps.
If your a veggie, I'm sure beans and vegatable toppings would be just as great with this recipe.

Happy, healthy eating everyone.
