    • 2 small sweet potato, thinly sliced
    • Spray of pure vegetable oil
    • 2 cobs fresh corn, removed from cob
    • ½ capsicum, diced
    • 1 cup canned black beans (drained, rinsed)

    3. Once the sweet potato slices are cooked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with corn, capsicum, black beans and cheese.

    5. Remove from grill and top with salsa and mashed avocado. Serve immediately.

    Recipe Notes

    • Baked sweet potato slices are a healthier option for making nachos than corn chips.
    • If you wash and dry sweet potato well, you can leave the skin on, which adds more fibre to your meal.
    • Mix up your topping ingredients by adding your favourites such as shredded red capsicum, grated carrot, black olives, jalapeno peppers …
