YES! Nachos<\/strong> CAN be healthy! I knew it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nachos have to be one of my husband’s favourite snacks but I’ve avoided making them recently as I thought they were just too unhealthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a little pestering on his part I decided to come up with a healthier version<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been making sweet potato<\/strong> crisps (or chips for my American readers!) for a little while now so why not use them as the base for this nacho dish? Perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Getting Thin Slices<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cutting up a whole sweet potato into super thin slices can be a little tricky so I used a mandolin slicer<\/strong> and it literally took minutes. This made the slices super thin so if you would prefer them thicker then cut them by hand instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But once the sweet potatoes are sliced the hard work is all done. After that you just need to get your toppings ready and start layering up! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toppings!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I used bacon as one of my toppings but leave that out for a veggie version, or top the nachos with some chilli for a more authentic recipe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I hadn’t been serving these to my little fussy eaters I would also have added some jalapenos for a chilli kick. Yum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u00a0have to say the whole \u00a0family really enjoyed these nachos. Obviously the sweet potato crisps won’t be as crispy as deep fried tortillas but I think they are a very acceptable substitute and pack a powerful nutritional punch at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
