So What’s not to love? Loaded Sheet Pan Sweet Potato Nachos are going have you re-thinking Sweet Potatoes Again! And probably even Nachos.
Hey, you’re getting all your much needed veggies in the form of Nachos.
Are you guys generally Sweet Potato lovers? Well first of all I must admit that I’ve kind of had mixed feelings about them until Now.
But once you’ve had them in the form of a nacho you’ll totally get what I’m saying.
Sweet Potatoes were just meant to be Nachos…Haha!! Basking in all that chili seasoning and topped with all that ooey gooey goodness.
What’s your favorite way to eat them? I’m still experimenting with them but these and then this have been some of my fav’s.
So if you thought nachos were only in the form of tortilla chips then you’re Really missing out.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good tortilla chip as well, but it’s been my mission to try and get as many veggies in whenever I can.
Hence you may want to also try this version as well.

These turned into a mushy mess. It was a delicious mushy mess, but a mushy mess nonetheless.
I’m so GLAD you enjoyed the flavor. These are definitely messy just as loaded tortilla nachos are. I’m not sure exactly what you meant by mushy though, maybe you didn’t get the sweet potatoes thin enough or crisp enough. Anyway, they’re definitely delicious with or without a fork 🙂
You don’t have to ask me twice to enjoy a plate of nachos. Nachos are my all time favorite cheat food and, frankly, if I could. . .I would treat every day as a cheat day.
I love your twist of using sweet potatoes, instead of the typical tortilla chips. . .so good. And that cheese sauce made with the yogurt. . .now that’s brilliant.
I absolutely need to try this! Sweet potatoes are one of my favorites, and you can’t go wrong with nachos!
I made some sweet potato nachos to recently and I can totally agree they are awesome. I added pulled pork but for vegetarians it’s perfectly possible to do without! Actually as a meat lover I need to admit we’ve eaten these a lot the vegetarian way too!
Yummmm! I love sweet potato anything especially NACHOS! Love that you added Greek yogurt to lighten this up a bit, definitely saving this for the weekend 😉
My husband is a big sweet potato fan. I love how easy it sounds to make and I think he’d love the flavor.
Would love to be invited to your Taco Thursday party Stephanie 😉 This looks delicious! I absolutely loveee sweet potato chips. I need to try this recipe ASAP. My hubby will go nuts when he see this!
Would love to have you Natalie 🙂 Hope you and the hubby get a chance to try this!
This sounds so delicious and healthy. I love nachos but never tried a sweet potato version. These would make a perfect gameday snack too.

Oh this looks so good! I’m always looking for different ways to use sweet potatoes.
Loving the healthy take on nachos. We are having nachos for dinner tonight…however not the healthy version. Tonight is “junk food” treat…nachos, wings, wine and a movie. However, since we can’t eat unhealthy all the time….this is a great way to eat nachos more often. AWESOME!!!
For sure Gloria..but we all need a junk food night sometimes. Sounds like fun..Enjoy 🙂
