The healthiest nachos you may ever eat (and you'll love them anyway!)

Healthy Potato Nachos

These healthy potato nachos are incredibly tasty! These are based on the "tree hugger" vegetarian nachos at Bermuda's Swizzle Inn, but lightened up by using baked potato rounds instead of tortilla chips. Packed with veggies, beans and arugula on top. You will love them!

Ingredients

  • 3 potatoes, sliced into horizontal rounds around 1/4 inch thick
  • A handful of grated cheddar cheese
  • A handful of chopped spring onions, aka scallions / green onions
  • 1-2 jalepenos, de-seeded and sliced
  • A couple scoops of greek yogurt
  • A few handfuls of rocket / arugula

For the salsa (this will make a huge batch- you will have leftovers)

  • One can of black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 tomatoes, de-seeded and chopped into tiny pieces
  • 1 small red or green bell pepper, minced
  • 1 small red onion, minced
  • A handful of chopped coriander, aka cilantro
  • Juice of 1 lime

For the guacamole

  • 1 medium avocado
  • A few grinds of sea salt
  • 1-2 tsps of lime juice

Instructions 

  • Pre-het oven to 205C / 400F
  • While it's pre-heating, prepare the salsa and guacamole.
  • Combine all salsa ingredients in a bowl. Place in the fridge to allow the flavours to mingle.
  • Prepare the guacamole by mashing the avocado with the salt and lime juice. Leave to one side while you get everything else ready (don't refrigerate)
  • Cover a large baking tray (you may need 2) with baking paper, and then brush a thin layer of vegetable oil over it.
  • Place the potato rounds on top of the baking paper and brush with a thin layer of oil on top of each.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Then flip them over and bake for another 15. They should be cooked through and a little bit crispy. If they are too soggy, you may want to broil or grill them for a few minutes to crisp them up.
  • Now move the potato rounds to the plate or tray you will be serving them on. Pile them up and sprinkle with cheese. Grill / broil for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
  • Top your nachos with salsa, jalapeno slices, and a couple spoonfuls each of guacamole and greek yogurt.
  • Cover in rocket / arugula and serve!
