Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Canned black beans
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
• 1 small Jalapeño, sliced
• 4 Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and cut the russet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick fries, keeping the skins on for extra crispiness.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time.

Step 5

While the fries are baking, drain and rinse the black beans, placing them in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until warmed through.

Step 6

Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Step 7

Remove the fries from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Top with warm black beans, dollops of sour cream, and salsa.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped cilantro, green onions, and slices of jalapeño. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a fresh squeeze of citrus.

Step 9

Enjoy your Vegetarian Nacho Fries immediately while hot.
