Sweet Potato Nachos
Is there a bad way to eat taco toppings? I think not…and we have some sort of taco/nacho/burrito/bowl type of thing every single week…so sometimes it’s fun to mix it up a little, and these were so good! They do take a little time to roast the sweet potatoes, but it is so worth it!
When I was little, I thought the only way to eat a sweet potato was to slather them in butter, brown sugar, and marshmallows for Thanksgiving. I will tell you…I did not like sweet potatoes…and I really think that doesn’t give sweet potatoes the amazingness they deserve. Try these out if your favorite dish is the Thanksgiving sweet potato version….I promise it will change your opinion about how sweet potatoes should be consumed.
