⭐ Why you'll love this recipe

  • Tasty comfort food - all the comfort food vibes, but with lots of veggies to enjoy!
  • Fun sharing plate - an informal meal or snack to enjoy with friends and family.
  • Easy to make - a simple recipe with just a few steps and no fancy kitchen equipment needed.

🍠 Ingredients

Lots of fresh ingredients in this recipe, as well as some pantry staples. The main ingredients you will need are:

  • Sweet potatoes - slice fairly thin for faux nachos. Seasoned with spice, these are the best comfort food.
  • Bell pepper and corn - more fun veggies for your your bean-free nachos.
  • Mozzarella - so creamy, use the type that comes in a packet with water rather than harder cheese.
  • Pumpkin seeds - for a crunchy garnish.
  • Sweet paprika - to add a hint of spice to the potatoes.
  • Salad leaves - use the type you prefer. My low histamine readers will likely want to avoid spinach.
  • Tahini - to make the creamy dressing.
  • Salt and (optional) pepper - to season.

📖 Variations to the recipe

To make the nachos vegan you can simply leave out the mozzarella cheese or use a vegan substitute if this works for you.

🔪 Step by step instructions

Making these vegetarian sweet potato nachos is super simple, with just a few steps:

sweet potatoes slices sprinkled with paprika on a lined baking tray.

Step 1

Scatter the sweet potato and bell pepper onto your baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle sweet paprika over the sweet potatoes. Bake until cooked through and so the potatoes are slightly brown at the edges.

Step 2

Make the tahini sauce by combining the tahini and water, and stirring well until it comes together as a thick sauce. If you prefer a thicker texture add more tahini, or add water for a thinner consistency.

Step 3

Arrange your sweet potatoes on a plate, and add the bell pepper, corn, mozzarella and salad leaves. Drizzle over the tahini sauce and sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds, salt and pepper, if using. Enjoy!

💭 Recipe tips and notes

  • Bake the sweet potato until slightly crispy on the outside, with browning around the edges.
  • If you aren't a fan of tahini then you can make a simple oil-based dressing instead.
  • For those who don't follow a low histamine diet, regular or smoked paprika can be used to season the potatoes as well.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled, cut into rounds
  • ½ bell pepper sliced
  • ¼ cup corn
  • ½ ball fresh mozzarella pulled into bite size pieces
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika more to taste
  • salad leaves (avoid spinach if low histamine)
  • pinch salt
  • pinch black pepper optional

For the tahini sauce

  • 2 tablespoon tahini
  • 2 tablespoon warm water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180C / 360F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Once at temperature scatter the sweet potato and bell pepper onto the tray. Drizzle them with olive oil, and sprinkle sweet paprika over the sweet potatoes. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and the potatoes are slightly brown at the edges.
  • Make the tahini sauce by combining the tahini and water, and stirring well until it comes together as a thick sauce. If you prefer a thicker texture add more tahini, or add water for a thinner consistency.
  • Arrange your sweet potatoes on a plate, and add the bell pepper, corn, mozzarella and salad leaves. Drizzle over the tahini sauce and sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds, salt and pepper, if using. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The sweet potatoes should be slightly crispy on the edges and soft in the middle.
  • Adjust the amount of spice to preference.
  • If you follow a low histamine diet then you may wish to check that your mozzarella doesn't come in vinegar.

Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
