Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and cut the russet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick fries, keeping the skins on for extra crispiness.
In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
While the fries are baking, drain and rinse the black beans, placing them in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until warmed through.
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Remove the fries from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Top with warm black beans, dollops of sour cream, and salsa.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, green onions, and slices of jalapeño. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a fresh squeeze of citrus.
Enjoy your Vegetarian Nacho Fries immediately while hot.
