Ingredients
  

4 large carrots, peeled and thinly sliced

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup cooked black beans (drained and rinsed)

1/2 cup chopped ripe avocado

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for drizzling)

Jalapeño slices (optional, for spice)

Instructions
 

Prep the Carrots: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, combine sliced carrots with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

    Bake the Chips: Spread the seasoned carrot slices out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the carrot chips are crispy and golden-brown.

      Add the Cheese: Once the carrot chips are done, remove them from the oven. While they are still hot, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chips. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to melt and crisp up the cheese.

        Assemble the Nachos: Take the crispy Parmesan carrot chips out of the oven and let them cool slightly. Layer the carrot chips on a serving platter. Top with black beans, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

          Drizzle & Serve: Finish with a drizzle of sour cream or Greek yogurt over the nachos. If desired, top with jalapeño slices for an added kick. Serve immediately and enjoy your unique nacho experience!
