Sweet Potato Nachos

Makes 4 servings as a meal or 8 servings as a snack

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 15-20 minutes

What you need:

• 1 large sweet potato, cut into thick slices
• 1-2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4-1/2 cup guacamole (or mashed avocado)
• 1/2 cup Chili Walnut Meat
• 1/4 cup finely diced cucumber
• unsweetened coconut yogurt
• sprouts

*To make the Chili Walnut Meat

• 1 cup toasted walnuts
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp chili powder (more or less to taste)
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tbsp hemp seeds
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

What you do:

1. Preheat oven to 400F. In a medium bowl, toss the slices of sweet potatoes with the olive oil and some salt and pepper. Spread the potato slices on a baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes. Flip them over and cook an additional 5-10 minutes until cooked (depending on the thickness). Set aside.
2. While potatoes are cooking, make the Chili Walnut Meat. Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until you get an even crumbly texture. Set aside.
3. To assemble, “butter” each potato slice with some guacamole. Top with the Chili Walnut Meat. Sprinkle with cucumber pieces. Top with yogurt and sprouts.

Bon appétit!

Substitution tips:

• Replace the guacamole with some mashed avocado or some salsa.
• Use finely diced tomatoes or zucchinis instead of cucumbers.
• You can make the Chili Walnut Meat in advance and refrigerate until ready to use.
