Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon chili powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese blend for variety)

½ cup black beans, rinsed and drained

½ cup fresh pico de gallo or diced tomatoes

¼ cup sliced jalapeños (either fresh or pickled for a tangy kick)

½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for a lighter option)

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Optional: Sliced avocado or guacamole, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper to facilitate an easy cleanup after baking.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Rinse the sweet potatoes thoroughly under cold water and peel them. Cut each potato into fries about ¼ inch thick to ensure even cooking.

      Season the Fries: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato fries with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the fries gently to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.

        Bake the Fries: Arrange the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking time. You will know they are done when they are crispy and golden brown.

          Add the Toppings: Once baked, take the fries out of the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over them. Follow this by adding the black beans and sliced jalapeños. Place them back in the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and become bubbly.

            Finish it Off: After removing the loaded nacho fries from the oven, top with fresh pico de gallo. Drizzle sour cream or Greek yogurt generously over the surface, and finish with a vibrant sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

              Serve: Serve the loaded nacho sweet potato fries immediately while they are hot. For an extra creamy element, offer sliced avocado or guacamole on the side. Dig in and enjoy every bite of this delicious dish!
