Air Fryer Weed Nachos: The Healthier High Snack That Still Slaps Like a Snowstorm to the Face

 

Look, we love a good pile of oozy, cheesy nachos as much as the next guy yelling “SEND IT” while faceplanting into a hot tub. But we’re also in our 30s now. Our metabolism’s ghosted us. Our hangovers last 48 hours. And if we eat gas station nachos at 2 a.m., we wake up with a blood pressure reading that screams “You’re not 25 anymore, bud.”

Enter: Air Fryer Weed Nachos — the guilt-light, munchie-heavy solution for every Canadian who wants a high snack that doesn’t taste like sadness or cardboard kale.

This recipe is perfect whether you’re:

• A) Already stoned out of your toque and need a vessel for shoveling food into your face,

• or B) Looking to get stoned by way of nacho, which — let’s be honest — is the Canadian dream.

What Makes These Nachos So Haute?

We swap the usual belly-bombs for actual food groups:

• Sweet potatoes (Vitamin A, baby!)

• Black beans (protein you didn’t have to hunt)

• Hemp hearts (because you’re fancy now)

• And a cannabis-infused guac that’ll knock you on your Saskatche-ass if you’re not careful.

Even better? They’re made in an air fryer, which every millennial owns, despite having no idea how it works. (It’s a hot tornado in a bucket. Don’t overthink it.)

Ingredient List (a.k.a. What to Grab at No Frills While Paranoid Someone’s Watching You)

Base:

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, thinly sliced

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• Pinch of salt (or several if you’re emotionally eating)

Toppings:

• 1 cup black beans (rinsed, unless you like weird liquid in your nachos)

• 1/4 cup hemp hearts

• 2 tbsp pickled jalapeños (optional but aggressively Canadian)

Guac:

Not trying to get high? Skip the weed oil and just vibe.

Directions (For Stoners Who Need Clear Steps or They’ll Forget Halfway Through)

1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Or don’t. Just keep mashing buttons until it makes that WHOOOSH noise.

2. Toss your sweet potato slices in olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and salt.

3. Cook in batches for 12–15 minutes until crispy. Shake the basket halfway through or give it the old Timbit toss.

4. Arrange your sweet potato chips on a plate like you care about presentation (you don’t).

5. Sprinkle on black beans, cheese, and hemp hearts like a nacho Picasso.

6. Pop the whole plate in the microwave for 30–45 seconds, just long enough to melt the cheese but not so long you create cheese lava.

7. In a bowl, mash your avocados, lime juice, and salt.

   • Wanna get high? Drizzle in your weed oil and stir.

   • Wanna just stay high? Keep it virgin and scoop away.

8. Dollop that green gold all over your nachos. Add jalapeños if you’re bold or your taste buds are already dead from Hot Cheetos.

Munchie Notes from the Maple Leaf Underground

• These hit hard — both as a snack and as a delivery system for THC. If you’re going the infused route, start low and go slow, like trying to ice skate after three beers.

• Sweet potatoes are weirdly filling. You might not eat the whole tray. (You will anyway. But now you can pretend you won’t.)

• Hemp hearts are like little nutty sprinkles of health — they make you feel like you’re doing something good for your body while smearing guac on your chin.
