Sweet Potato Nachos



If you're looking for something tangy, savory, and sweet- here it is! These Sweet Potato Nachos are perfect for a weekend movie night. If you're planning on making these, make sure to soak your cashews in advance. I like to keep some on hand in the fridge-- they're great in smoothies too!

This is a healthier twist on a usually indulgent meal, and not short on flavor. If you try out any of my recipes, I'd love to see them! Just use #gardengoddesskitchen
