Ingredients And Substitutions
Tortilla chips – You want sturdy tortilla chips for these loaded sheet pan nachos. Think thick, restaurant-style, crispy tortilla chips. Skip the flavored chips to allow the delicious toppings to shine.
Black beans – Veggies and beans make this vegan nachos recipe as hearty as meaty nachos. You can also swap black beans for pinto beans.
Corn kernels – Their sweetness and crunch complete these plant based nachos. For extra flavor, use fire-roasted corn.
Vegan cheddar cheese – For ooey-gooey nachos, use vegan Colby Jack cheese! You can even add a vegan nacho cheese sauce. (If you can’t find one, here’s an easy cheese sauce recipe.)
Pico de Gallo – If you prefer to use your favorite salsa, be mindful of the liquid they might add to the chips.
Guacamole – You can use store-bought or homemade! Scroll down for a simple guac recipe.
Green bell pepper and radishes – Get creative with these easy vegan nachos and add your favorite veggie toppings! Black olives will also be delicious.
Jalapeno – To tone down the heat of fresh jalapeños, scrape off their seeds.
Vegan sour cream – The coolness of dairy-free sour cream balances these vegan nachos’ rich, savory flavors.
Cilantro and lime – Their bright flavors are perfect for the finished nachos.
Tips For Making This Recipe
Use Homemade Pico de Gallo and Guac
Make your own Pico de Gallo from diced Roma tomatoes, onion, lime juice, and cilantro. You can also swap Pico de Gallo for this easy salsa tatemada recipe. You’ll need avocados, salt, and lime juice for the guacamole.
Make a Big Batch
Planning on feeding a crowd? The secret is layering, not piling the chips and adding all the toppings in one go. After you finish the layer of tortilla chips, beans, corn, and cheese, do another layer of chips, and so on, then finish with the remaining toppings.
Add Vegan Ground Beef
Experiment with your favorite toppings to give your sheet pan nachos a twist. You can also cook TVP with tamari and your choice of spices until it resembles ground beef.
Vegan Nachos Recipe FAQs
Are nachos vegan?
How do you keep loaded vegan nachos from getting soggy?
Do not add everything in one layer; the toppings will weigh the chips down and eventually make them soggy. Ingredients like Pico de Gallo, salsa, sour cream, and veggies should also be added last.
Can you make this vegan nachos recipe in advance?
These loaded vegan nachos are best eaten the same day they are made, so the chips are still crunchy. However, you can store the components individually and refrigerate them for 1 to 2 days. Assemble the nachos before serving.
How do I properly reheat sheet pan nachos?
Got leftover nachos? Toast the chips for around 5 minutes in the oven to help them crisp up.
What dishes go well with nachos?
These beautiful nachos will be perfect with sofritas, 3-bean vegetarian chili, and this 7-layer bean dip. You can also plan a nacho bar so the guests can build their own nachos!
