Hawaiian BBQ Vegan Sweet Potato Nachos are a healthy and hearty version of the classic that are perfect for an appetizer, lunch or light dinner!
Before we get to these nachos, let’s taco ’bout convenience.
“This post is sponsored by Sweet Earth Natural Foods. As always, all opinions are my own.”
Since I’m a college kid, convenience foods always catch my eye. College doesn’t allow for much free time, yet alone time to actually cook a meal. Let’s be honest, most convenience food (aka junk food and fast food) is NOT healthy which is why the freshman 15 is so real nowadays.
Dear college students, I understand what you’re going through, I know how hard it is to balance your time and I know you probably don’t want to spend an more than an hour of your day to make food when you can grab it in less than 5 seconds.
I have some great news for college students and people alike who just don’t have time to cook but want to eat healthy, enter: Sweet Earth Natural Foods. Sweet Earth Natural Foods is an awesome company that specializes in convenient, plant-based, organic/non-gmo products such as frozen breakfast sandwiches, burritos and savory meatless grounds, all of which can be stored in a mini fridge and microwaved!
The breakfast sandwiches and burritos are my new go-to meals that can be microwaved and made in less than 2 minutes, holla! The savory grounds are a perfect meat substitute for those meatless Mondays and perfect in these sweet potato nachos.
So back to the nachos….These are INCREDIBLE. They are not just any nachos, they are sweet potato nachos! Sweet potatoes take the place of tortilla chips for a healthier but just as tasty, if not tastier version of nachos.
These flavor combo of these nachos is also unlike your regular nacho but I think that this Hawaiian BBQ version is insanely delicious and even better. What is Hawaiian BBQ you may ask? It’s basically BBQ with added pineapple which makes BBQ like 1000000x better and makes these nachos on-point.
Let’s see the hearty ingredients that make up these sweet potato nachos:
Sweet potatoes
Sweet Earth Foods savory barbecue grounds
Pineapple
Bell pepper
Red onion
Lime juice
Cilantro
Avocado

HI Bethany & Nicole,
Wow this sounds wonderful. Such a different healthier twist to nachos. I love the idea of the pineapple and using sweet potatoes instead of other grain nachos. I am such a big sweet potato lover that this to me would be the perfect addition when serving guests or just for when your watching TV. Thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays. Pinned & tweeted!
