Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into rounds
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup salsa
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Wash sweet potatoes thoroughly and slice them into thin, uniform rounds approximately 1/4 inch thick. Pat the potato rounds dry with paper towels to ensure crispy roasting.
- Arrange sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, ensuring each slice is evenly coated.
- Roast sweet potato rounds in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are golden brown and crispy.
- While potatoes are roasting, drain and rinse black beans. If desired, season beans with cumin, chili powder, or garlic powder for extra flavor.
- Once sweet potato rounds are crispy, remove from oven and layer with black beans and shredded cheese.
- Return to oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and top with diced avocado and salsa. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, or jalapeños for additional flavor and presentation.
Tips
- Slice sweet potatoes uniformly to ensure even roasting and crispy texture.
- Pat potato rounds dry before roasting to maximize crispiness.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet—give each potato slice breathing room.
- Season beans with extra spices like cumin or chili powder for deeper flavor.
- Watch cheese melting closely to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately to enjoy maximum crispiness and melted cheese.
- Get creative with toppings like fresh cilantro, jalapeños, or a dollop of sour cream.
- For a spicier version, add hot sauce or sprinkle red pepper flakes.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and preventing sticking.
