Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into thin rounds

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or vegan cheese)

1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional for spice)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for serving)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure each piece is evenly coated.

    Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.

      Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Place the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches). Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.

        Assemble the Nacho Bites: Once the sweet potato rounds are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and place them on a serving plate. Top each round with a spoonful of black beans, corn, and sliced jalapeños (if using). Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over each bite.

          Melt the Cheese: Return the assembled nacho bites back to the air fryer (in batches if necessary) and air fry for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

            Garnish and Serve: Carefully remove the nacho bites from the air fryer and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side, along with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
