Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)

1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). While it preheats, wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into thin rounds or small bite-sized cubes to ensure they cook evenly.

    Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato pieces with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.

      Air Fry the Sweet Potatoes: Place the seasoned sweet potato pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to do this in batches. Air fry them for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking, until they are crispy and fork-tender.

        Assemble Nacho Bites: Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the air fryer and layer them on a serving platter or a large baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the sweet potatoes, followed by the black beans, diced tomatoes, and jalapeños.

          Melt the Cheese: Place the loaded nacho bites back in the air fryer for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

            Garnish and Serve: Carefully remove the nacho bites from the air fryer. Top with fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side for dipping. Enjoy your delightful, crunchy air fryer nacho bites!
