🗒️ Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes – Naturally sweet and hearty, they create the perfect base and roast up tender with beautifully caramelized edges.

Ground Turkey – Lean and protein-packed, it adds a savory, satisfying layer that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the potatoes.

Avocado Oil – A neutral, high-heat oil that helps everything roast evenly while adding a subtle richness.

Salt and Pepper – Simple seasoning that enhances and balances all the flavors.

Black Beans – Creamy and hearty, they add extra protein and texture to make this dish more filling.

Monterey Jack Cheese – Mild, melty, and creamy, it ties everything together with the perfect cheesy finish.

Cilantro – Fresh and bright, it adds a pop of color and flavor right at the end.

Sour Cream – Cool and creamy, it balances the warmth and spice of the dish.

Jalapeños – Thinly sliced for a little kick and just the right amount of heat.

A variety of fresh ingredients are arranged on a white countertop, including sliced sweet potatoes, black beans, cheese, whole tomatoes, jalapeños, an avocado, halved limes, and chopped cilantro with a knife on a cutting board.

👩‍🍳 How to Make My Loaded Sweet Potato Nachos

Prep the sweet potatoes:
- Wash the sweet potatoes and dry thoroughly. Microwave for 30-60 seconds before proceeding to slice (in order to soften slightly).
- Slice sweet potatoes using the Pampered Chef Rapid-Prep Mandoline on the Slice, #6 to get ¼-inch rounds or thin chips.
- Because of the density of the sweet potatoes, make sure you use ample pressure.
Cook the sweet potatoes:
- Preheat the Pampered Chef Deluxe Air Fryer & Oven or oven to Heat & Crisp (375 F) for 17 minutes.
- Arrange sweet potato slices in a single layer on the sheet pan. Coat sweet potatoes with avocado oil (or high heat oil) and salt before baking. When prompted to “Add Food” place the sheet pan into the oven and press Start.
- Rotate the pan half way through for even cooking.
Cook the turkey:
- Heat some oil in the Pampered Chef Stainless 10″ Sauté Pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Add ground turkey and season with salt and pepper or some Taco Seasoning.
- Let the meat sear for a few minutes, then break it up with the Pampered Chef Mix ‘N Chop® and cook until no longer pink. (about 6–8 minutes).
Prepare toppings:
- Drain and rinse black beans using the Pampered Chef Can Strainer.
- Grate cheese with the course side Pampered Chef Adjustable Double Grater.
- Chop cilantro with the Pampered Chef Foundations Chef’s Knife.

Optional: make a quick guacamole in the Pampered Chef Electric Twist & Chop.

Tips & Tricks

For extra crispiness, toss sweet potato slices with a little avocado oil before cooking. This works wonders!
This recipe is highly versatile- swap turkey for beef or chicken, or load with extra veggies.
Store the toppings in the Pampered Chef Store & Serve containers.
To reheat leftovers, use the Reheat setting on the Pampered Chef Deluxe Air Fryer & Oven.

👝 How to Store Leftovers

Start by letting the nachos cool to room temperature. I store the leftovers in the Pampered Chef Store & Serve containers. These stay good for about 3-5 days.

Ground meat is being browned in a stainless steel skillet with a black meat chopper. Next to the pan, there is a bowl filled with lemons and limes on a wooden surface.

🧠 Common Questions

Can I make this recipe vegetarian?

Yes! Simply swap the ground turkey for extra black beans, pinto beans, or a plant-based ground alternative. You could also add sautéed peppers and onions for extra flavor and texture.

How do I keep the sweet potatoes from getting soggy?

Make sure they’re sliced evenly (about ¼-inch thick), arranged in a single layer, and lightly coated in oil. Avoid overcrowding the pan- this helps them crisp instead of steam.

Can I prep any of this ahead of time?

Yes! You can cook the turkey and slice the sweet potatoes in advance. Store separately in the refrigerator and assemble just before baking and broiling for the freshest texture.

How spicy is this recipe?

The heat level is mild to moderate depending on how many jalapeños you use. For less spice, remove the seeds or skip them entirely. For more heat, add extra jalapeños or use Taco Seasoning on the turkey.
