Ingredients:

  • 4 medium-sized potatoes (such as russet or Yukon gold)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup black beans, cooked and drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Guacamole, salsa, and vegan sour cream for serving

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick, using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for uniform thickness.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping. This will ensure that they crisp up evenly in the oven.
  5. Bake the potato slices in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  6. While the potatoes are baking, prepare your toppings. Rinse and drain the black beans, thaw the corn kernels if using frozen, dice the tomatoes and red onion, slice the black olives, jalapeño pepper (if using), and chop the fresh cilantro.
  7. Once the potato slices are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before assembling the nachos.
  8. To assemble the nachos, arrange the baked potato slices on a large serving platter or individual plates in a single layer.
  9. Scatter the black beans, corn kernels, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, diced red onion, and jalapeño slices (if using) evenly over the potato slices.
  10. Drizzle with your favorite vegan cheese sauce or sprinkle with vegan shredded cheese, if desired, for added indulgence.
  11. Garnish the nachos with chopped fresh cilantro and serve immediately with guacamole, salsa, and vegan sour cream on the side for dipping.
