How long do you bake nachos at 425?

If you’re looking for a standard temperature to bake nachos, 425 degrees is a good starting point. Use the cheese as your guide for how long to bake nachos at 425,. Check on the nachos once they’re in the oven for 10-15 minutes and bake them until the cheese has completely melted. 

How to assemble homemade nachos

1. Line chips in one layer on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper
2. Lightly cover with ½ the cheese
3. Add toppings
4. Cover with remaining cheese
5. Bake in the oven at 425 for 10-15 minutes until cheese melts. Alternatively, broil in the oven (watch carefully so the parchment paper and nachos don’t burn) for 2-3 minutes. 

Tasty tips + ideas for homemade nachos

• What are standard nacho toppings? Shredded meat like this sous vide pulled pork, jalapenos, beans, guacamole, sour cream, and diced tomatoes or salsa. 
• What kind of cheese should you use for nachos? The best cheese for nachos are cheeses that melt fast. Jack cheese, a Mexican cheese blend, Oaxaca cheese, or cheddar cheese are good options.
• How should I serve nachos? Serve the nachos right on the sheet pan or a large cast iron pan (once the pan cools). Or, transfer nachos to a large Mexican platter. 
• How do you feed nachos to a crowd? Set out a nacho toppings bar for parties so everyone can DIY their favorite nachos. Bake a couple sheet trays with just cheese so the nachos are a blank canvas for your guests.
• How do you re-crisp nachos? Make homemade nachos crispy again in the oven for 2-5 minutes at 425 degrees. 
• What should you do if your nachos came out too salty? Balance the saltiness of nachos with a squeeze of lime. The acid will help offset the saltiness.
