Going low carb can be a real challenge. I find it especially
hard to eat healthy during football or parties. We just love party snacks but
you know as well as I do that they can be awful for you! I’m still adjusting
but for now these nachos will work great in a pinch! Believe it or not, the
bell peppers make a great substitute for a chip. Let’s be honest though – it’s
still not a chip. I really liked the light and crisp taste though. Plus I could
eat a lot more without feeling guilty about it! I did made my husband some with
tortilla chips though – not everyone is excited about finding a low carb,
clean, appetizer like I am : ). Makes enough for about 4-6 servings depending
on if you are serving as an appetizer or a meal.
3-4 bell peppers, seeded and cut into 2” chunks
1 can beans, drained and rinsed (our favorites are black
beans or cannellini beans)
2 medium tomatoes, diced
½ cup corn
½ cup jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
1 avocado, chopped
¼ cup green onions chopped
½ cup shredded cheese (we used dairy free)
Salsa, sour cream, etc for additional toppings
Heat oven to 400°F. On a large baking sheet sprayed with
olive oil, line bell peppers in a single layer. Spread evenly over peppers the
beans, corn, tomatoes, peppers. Top with cheese and bake for about 10 minutes
or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and top with avocadoes, green
onions and additional toppings if desired. Serve immediately.
