Instructions
First, heat your oven to 400°F. Cut sweet potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick. Mix them with oil and your favorite spices.
Put them on a baking sheet and bake. These roasted sweet potatoes will be your nachos’ base.
While the sweet potatoes roast, cook the ground turkey. Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the turkey. Then, add lentils, BBQ sauce, and spices.
After 25 minutes, your sweet potatoes should be golden and crispy. Now, it’s time to build your nachos. Put the roasted sweet potatoes on a baking dish.
Add your turkey-lentil mix and lots of cheese on top. Bake for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
For extra crispiness, broil for 5 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning. Once it’s done, add your favorite toppings like salsa, avocado, or Greek yogurt.
Your sweet potato nachos are now ready to eat!
“These nachos are a game-changer! The sweetness of the potatoes pairs perfectly with the savory turkey. It’s my new favorite way to enjoy a healthier version of this classic dish.”
Tips, Tricks & Storing
Want perfectly crispy sweet potato nachos? Use a mandoline slicer for even slices. Spread them out on the baking sheet to give each slice room to crisp up. This trick is perfect for meal prep, letting you enjoy tasty nachos all week long.
Get creative with your toppings! Mix and match based on your tastes or dietary needs. The possibilities are endless, from classic cheese and salsa to unique combos like BBQ chicken or Mediterranean-inspired toppings.
Leftover nachos? No problem! Store them in an airtight container in your fridge for up to five days. When you’re ready to eat, reheat them in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes. While you can microwave them, keep in mind it might make them less crispy. Reheating nachos in the oven is your best bet for that satisfying crunch.
