Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Sweet potato
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 0.5 cups Buffalo sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Blue cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal or flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potato and dice it into small, bite-sized cubes.
In a mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potato cubes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, increase the oven temperature to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to preheat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. If using cornmeal, sprinkle 1 tablespoon onto a pizza peel or a flat baking sheet to prevent sticking.
Spread the buffalo sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the buffalo sauce. Then, scatter the roasted sweet potato cubes over the top.
Crumble the blue cheese evenly across the pizza.
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped chives for a burst of flavor.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your Buffalo Sweet Potato Blue Cheese Pizza!
