How to Make Sweet Potato Nachos
1 — Preheat the oven (or toaster oven for a mini batch!) to 350°F (175°C).
2 — Spread the sweet potato tortilla chips evenly on a baking sheet. We love using these chips because they’re organic, vegan, non-gmo and gluten-free!
3 — Mash 2 cups of softened sweet potatoes until smooth using a fork. (We used 2 cups from 2 cans of organic sweet potatoes.) Stir in 3 tablespoons of organic honey and season with a few dashes of salt and pepper for the perfect balance of sweet and savory.
4 — Spoon mashed sweet potato mixture evenly over the chips.
5 — Sprinkle mini marshmallows generously on top.
6 — Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are lightly toasted and melty.
7 — Optional: Remove from the oven and drizzle with honey for a sweet finishing touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tools Needed to Make Sweet Potato Nachos
This recipe is anything but complex. All you need is an oven, baking sheet, bowl and fork! All simple tools which you hopefully already have in the kitchen, right?!?
Tip: Whenever I use a baking sheet, I always line it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This makes clean up way easier. For our cooking essentials, visit our shop page for all the tools we think every chef should have in their home kitchen.
Canned Sweet Potato Versus Fresh Sweet Potato
For a quick recipe, I used canned organic sweet potatoes. But if time is not an issue, you can definitely opt for fresh sweet potatoes.
If you do opt for fresh sweet potato, slice the sweet potato first before mashing it. This will speed up the process. Also, three medium sweet potatoes should make the 2 cups needed for this recipe.
Additional Toppings for Sweet Potato Nachos
If you’re in more of a savory versus sweet mood, simply swap out the marshmallow toppings and add any of these ingredients below:
- Shredded chicken
- Sour cream
- Green onions
- A dash of garlic powder and chili powder
Add them all, and you’ve now got yourself loaded sweet potato nachos for lunch or dinner!
Why Sweet Potato Nachos are Healthier?
When you think of nachos, you typically think of corn tortilla chips. Sweet potato chips are a healthier alternative since they’re not processed nor salty (aka high sodium)! We specifically love the Late July Sweet Potato Multigrain Tortilla Chips because they’re organic, vegan, non-gmo and gluten-free. Instead of using cheesing, sweet potatoes are also high in protein and fiber. They’re packed with minerals, calcium and vitamins.
Let’s also not forget that they’re sweet. And no one can deny that we don’t have a sweet tooth. Who doesn’t love sweet potatoes?!? Though it’s not the healthiest when it’s topped with marshmallows, we still consider this a “healthy recipe” when compared to the average nacho recipes.
