Oh Sweet, Sweet Potato Nachos

Okay, it's kind of hard to keep coming up with variations of recipes involving sweet potatoes that are healthy and low in fat and all that good stuff. 


Just kidding it's really easy. 


Sweet potatoes are so good for you. Benefits
-High in vitamin B6
-Good source of Vitamin C, which produces collagen, keeping your youthful appearance! 
-Contains vitamin D (energy levels, healthy bones, healthy heart, ROTC) 
-IRON! 
-magnesium which is good for relaxation! 

They are just all around good, and delicious. 

Okay so my newest creation came with the emphasis of I hardly had good at my house and was craving something unhealthy but let's be real here, I like being small so that's not happening. 

Thus, sweet potato nachos were born! 
Whose nachos? NAT YOOOS




Effortless really. 

Ingredients
-2 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced(see below) 
-salsa
-lettuce 
-bleu cheese dressing, or just crumbles, or whatever your heart desires. 
-any other topping you want!


Cut the sweet potato into "chip" like sizes, and  spray them with olive oil and put on a pan. Make sure you do both sides. 
Bake for 12 minutes at 400°F , flip them, then continue for another 8 minutes or until they're at the crunchiness or baked-ness (is that a word?) that you prefer. 

Let them cool for about 5 minutes so they're still warm, then simply dress them with what you like on nachos! 

For me, I put salsa, sour cream, lettuce and bleu cheese dressing on top. UHHHmazing!

Enjoy
