How to Make Bean And Sweet Potato Nachos
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4).
- Peel and cube 1 large sweet potato. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp cumin seeds, and 1 tsp coriander seeds. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 50-60 minutes, or until tender.
- While sweet potatoes roast, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced.
- Add 1 small-medium green chili, finely chopped (or more, to taste), and ½ tsp paprika. Cook for 10 minutes, or until onion is softened, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes.
- Add 1 (15 ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed).
- Divide 1 bag of corn tortilla chips among four oven-safe dishes.
- Top with the bean mixture, then the roasted sweet potatoes, and finally, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
- Bake for 10 minutes, until heated through and cheese is melted.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh coriander. Serve with spicy avocado guacamole and whipped sour cream (recipes below).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
