Nachos For the Big Game

With a weekend of football + fun approaching, it’s a good time to pull out some appetizer recipes that are great for sharing. These sweet potato nachos allow for the full experience of flavor you love from game day nachos, but without the meat. It’s a touchdown at our house + is sure to be gobbled up (especially if my girls are within reach). Plus, these nachos make it easy to sneak some veggies in on the action. You can prepare them as I did right on a baking sheet for a casual serving experience (cutting down on the dishes too!) or dress them up with a themed platter.

Chef Kara Tip: 

I always use greek yogurt instead of sour cream as a healthier alternative.

Swap in any of your favorite nacho toppings – thinly sliced lettuce or spinach, cilantro, zucchini in the summer, jalapeños.
