Sweet Potato Pizza – Healthy, Delicious, and Easy
Pizza with a twist! This sweet potato pizza combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with savory toppings like tomato sauce, fresh vegetables, and melted vegan cheese. The best part? The crust is made from a mix of sweet potatoes and oat flour – a gluten-free and nutrient-rich alternative to traditional pizza dough.
This pizza is perfect for anyone who wants to eat healthily without compromising on flavor. It’s great for dinner, a snack, or even a cozy gathering with friends. Plus, you can customize the toppings however you like!
Ingredients
For the crust
- 300 gram (about 1 large) sweet potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 100 gram oat flour (blend oats into flour using a blender)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon oregano
For the toppings
- 150 gram tomato sauce
- 50 gram sweet potatoes (diced)
- 1/2 bell pepper (diced)
- 4-5 cherry tomatoes (diced)
- 80 gram vegan cheese (shredded or sliced)
- fresh basil
Instructions
- Boil the sweet potato cubes in a pot of water for about 10–15 minutes, or until soft. Drain and mash into a puree using a fork or potato masher.
- Mix the sweet potato puree with the oat flour, baking powder, salt, and oregano. Knead the dough well until it becomes pliable. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more oat flour.
- Shape the dough into a round or oval crust (about 1 cm thick) on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Pre-bake the crust in a preheated oven at 200 °C (390 °F) for about 15 minutes.
- Spread the tomato sauce over the pre-baked crust. Evenly distribute the zucchini, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and vegan cheese on top.
- Bake the pizza for another 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the vegetables are slightly browned.
- Top the finished pizza with fresh basil leaves, slice it up, and enjoy!
Notes
Tips
- Variations: Customize your pizza with other toppings like spinach, olives, mushrooms, or artichokes.
- Meal Prep: The dough can be prepared in advance and frozen – perfect for stress-free pizza nights.
- Serve with a dip: A cashew garlic dip or a simple herb yogurt pairs wonderfully with this pizza.
This sweet potato pizza is not only healthy but also incredibly versatile and delicious. The crust is soft, slightly sweet, and full of flavor, while the toppings balance perfectly with tomato sauce, vegetables, and vegan cheese. It’s easy to make, satisfying, and a real showstopper at the table.
