I love nachos… but usually nacho ingredients don’t like me so much!

So I made this easy peasy recipe just in time for the super bowl tomorrow night to help all you gluten, dairy, grain-free friends out there who are looking for some gametime nachos.

I’ve seen similar recipes made with sweet potatoes instead of carrots, and I’ve also seen this similar recipe made with grain free chips (I will do this exact same recipe with grain free chips too). Add your favorite toppings and voila you’re done!

Enjoy!
