A fun dessert spin on a savory classic featuring the chocolate and marshmallow flavors of smores.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup of plantain chips
  • ¼ of an apple, diced
  • A sprinkle of cinnamon
  • ½ cup of marshmallows
  • ½ cup of carob chips
  • ¼ cup of coconut butter, finely crumbled (if the coconut butter is too soft chill it in the fridge for half an hour then crumble it on top of the nachos with a fork)
  • ¼ cup of chopped dates, coconut chips or cashews
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Dice the apple into fine cubes or strips and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  3. Assemble the nachos by pouring the plantain chips on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
  4. Top with marshmallows, coconut butter, carob chips and either dates, cashews or coconut chips.
  5. Add diced cinnamon dusted apple to the very top.
  6. Pop the nachos in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes until the marshmallows start to brown and the carob begins to melt.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
  8. Transfer the nachos to a large plate by sliding the parchment paper gently from the cookie sheet onto the plate.
  9. ***An alternate way to prepare this recipe is to pour carob or chocolate sauce on top instead of adding chips.
  10. If you’re making the carob at home simple pour the melted coconut oil/carob mixture over the plantain nachos. If using carob or chocolate chips heat the chips in a pan with a tablespoon of coconut oil and pour the melted sauce over the nachos.
