Craving pizza, but also want to get in your serving of veggies? Well then, this pizza is for you! This pizza is so fun because it has a sweet potato crust and can be personalized by choosing to top it with your favorite sauce and veggies.

Ingredients

SWEET POTATO CRUST
1 medium sweet potato
1 egg or flax egg
½ cup oats or ¼ cup oats and 1 ½ tbsp. coconut flour
½ tbsp. oregano
Dash of garlic powder
Dash of onion powder
Dash of basil

TOPPINGS
1 tbsp. hummus of choice
Dairy free mozzarella cheese
Handful of spinach
Asparagus
Chopped peppers
Cherry tomatoes
Broccoli

Instructions:

  1.      Preheat oven to 350.
  2.      Microwave sweet potato and peel off skin.
  3.      Add all of the sweet potato crust ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth.
  4.      Line an 8-inch cake tin with parchment paper and pour the crust mixture into the tin, spreading it evenly across the bottom approximately ¼ inch thick.
  5.      Cook the crust for 25 minutes.
  6.      Remove the pizza, make sure the top is no longer squishy, and add toppings. I chose to add beet hummus, dairy free mozzarella cheese, spinach, peppers, asparagus, tomatoes,         and broccoli, but feel free to add whatever veggies and sauce that you please!
  7.      Stick the pizza back in the oven for 10 more minutes.
  8.      Remove from the oven, let cool, and enjoy!
