Sweet Potato Crust Pizza
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/3 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup mini pepperoni
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Bake whole for 40–50 minutes, or until soft. Let them cool slightly, then scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the sweet potato flesh until smooth. Stir in the oat flour until a dough forms. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, press the dough into a round, pizza crust shape. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until the crust is firm and lightly golden.
- Spread a layer of pizza sauce over the baked sweet potato crust. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and add mini pepperoni or any toppings of your choice.
- Return the pizzas to the oven and bake for another 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the pizzas cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Tips for the Best Sweet Potato Pizza
- Choose Medium Sweet Potatoes: They cook faster and create the perfect amount of dough for personal-sized pizzas.
- Press the Dough Evenly: Keep the crust about ¼ inch thick for the best texture.
- Customize Your Toppings: Swap pepperoni for veggies or use dairy-free cheese if needed.
- Meal Prep Hack: Bake the sweet potatoes ahead of time and refrigerate the flesh until you’re ready to make the crust.
